Links to IEYC Learning Principles 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6:

• Children should be supported to learn and develop at their own unique pace.
• Play is an essential aspect of all children’s learning and development.
• Learning happens when developmentally-appropriate, teacher-scaffolded and child- initiated experiences harness children’s natural curiosity in an enabling environment.
• Independent and interdependent learning experiences create a context for personal development and are the foundation of international mindedness.
• Knowledge and skills development lead to an increasing sense of understanding when children are provided with opportunities to explore and express their ideas in multiple ways.
