As EY practitioners, we know that child-centred practice is what matters. Despite the pressures for more ′school like′ learning in the Early Years, EY professionals and practitioners continue to advocate for child-led best practice in settings.
This book is a toolkit for all those working with children on how to develop and implement a child centred curriculum for delivery of the EYFS. A curriculum that is research informed and based on what we know about children′s development and learning. A curriculum that ensures children have the time and space to explore and develop the fundamental building blocks of early development.
