The Early Years Learning Framework - The Early Years Learning Framework is a national curriculum framework. The Framework is an important tool to help professionals and parents achieve the best learning and developmental outcomes for children. It has a strong emphasis on play-based learning as play is the best vehicle for young children’s learning providing the most stimulus for brain development.

The framework describes the principles, practice and outcomes to support and enhance young children's learning from birth to five years.

The Framework focuses on your child’s learning. The Early Years Learning Framework describes childhood as a time of belonging, being and becoming.

Through the Framework’s five learning goals educators will assist your child to develop:

• A strong sense of their identity

• Connections with their world

• A strong sense of wellbeing

• Confidence and involvement in their learning; and

• Effective communication skills
