The Early Years in Education Society is an Incorporated Member Based Association managed by volunteers and whose members believe in the following principles:
- Language is central to learning;
- Children should be engaged actively;
- An integrated approach which provides a balance between active and passive experiences, freely chosen and directed activities in all curriculum areas;
- The domains of learning (cognitive, socio-emotional, physical and creative) are considered essential in the development of the whole child’;
- Appropriate assessment and reporting based on the Early Years Learning Framework;
- Meaningful interaction with adults through observation, analysis and extension is essential;
- The development of confident, independent responsible and motivated learners is fostered by individual, small and whole group activities where emphasis is placed on learning to learn;
- Children learn best when home and school work cooperatively.
