This is the process of providing children and family with some context to an IEYC unit of learning so that connections between previous and new learning can be made.

Links to IEYC Learning Principles 4, 6 and 8:

• Learning happens when developmentally-appropriate experiences harness children’s natural curiosity in an enabling environment.
• 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.
• Learning should be motivating, engaging and fun, opening up a world of wonder for children where personal interests can ourish.
