Key Learning In Child Development

Understand the development and learning of babies and young people Cross ref CYP 3.1 1.2 Explain how development and learning are inconnected. How and why variations occur in rate and sequence of development and learning. That learning may take place in different ways. The importance of play. Development and learning are interconnected as first a child has to learn a new skill and will then go on to develop this before moving on to learn a new skill and create a pattern of learning. An example

In early years settings it is imperative that the practitioners work in partnership with parents to enhance children’s learning and development and value parents/carer’s contributions. The EYFS states, “The benefits of working in partnership are enormous allowing families to share information about their children’s development or learning and supporting children with particular needs to receive coordinated support.” (EYFS 2007, http://www.earlyyearsmatters.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/eyfs_enable_env_wide_cont(1)

The early years learning environment is dominated by a play- orientated pedagogy. That is, a child’s learning is enhanced in an environment where there is an equal balance between child and adult initiated activities. The role of the practitioner is to create this balance while planning for the activities to incorporate the statutory framework. A key way in which a practitioner can plan for a child’s activities is through making observations. Observations allow the practitioner find in depth knowledge

065. Promote learning and development in the early years. Outcome 1.1. There are seven areas of development in the EYFS. The seven areas of development and are split up as three main areas and are physical development, personal, social and emotional development, communication and language. The other four are still important but not detrimental as the other areas and they are Understanding of the World, Literacy, Arts and Design and Maths. Physical Development. Physical development is the area of

children are affected by many social factors and those closest to the child have the greatest impact. In the ecological system the parents and family are represented by the micro system, they are closest to the child and have the most influence them and their learning potential. (Bronfenbrenner, 1979). Therefore it is essential that the early year’s educator has a positive relationship with the parent for consistent and effective learning at home and in the setting. As well as recognising that parents

1992). Wachs (1992 p. 2) states ‘the development of a child could be viewed as akin to the growth of a plant- a little sunshine and a little water was all the environmental contribution that was necessary to promote what was inherent in the organism’. The main focus of the essay is exploration of holistic development incorporated in a child’s life such as; physical, emotional, intellectual, language and communication (NCM, 2014). Holistic development views the child as a whole individual (Meggitt 2012);

The Foundation Phase Curriculum completed its roll out during the academic year 2011-2012. Making reference to the key messages from the ‘Framework for Children’s Learning for 3 to 7 year-olds in Wales’, what experiences should all children in the Foundation Phase be receiving? The Foundation Phase completed its roll-out during the academic year 2011-2012. However, the Welsh Assembly Government (WAG) constantly observe children via documentation and therefore they adapt the curriculum to best suit

Foundation Phase is ever-evolving and changing due to being constantly revised. The WAG believe there is always scope for revision and improvement. The key messages from the Framework for Children 's Learning for the 3 to 7-year-olds in Wales (The Framework) emphasise that all children should be receiving a good quality environment, experiential learning, sound adult observations and interactions and learn according to their interests. The Framework is essentially the

practitioner in supporting young children’s learning and development During this essay, I have been asked to discuss the role of an early year’s practitioner in supporting young children 's learning and development. I will be doing this by debating different learning views and the different ways in which we, as practitioners support children’s development and learning, whilst providing evidence for each argument. During this I will also be thinking about my own learning and how it has changed my initial perception

in 2008, in the hope that it would enhance children’s development in all early years settings. It was then made law and legal requirements were put in place on nursery practitioners to make sure that standards that the framework has set out are being met. There are four main acts covering the legal status of the EYFS are: Children Act 1989 and 2004 Data Protection Act 1998 Childcare Act 2006 Safeguarding Vulnerable Group Act 2006 It is now law for all early years settings and schools to carry out
