The Early Years Foundation Stage - Childcare principles into practice
There are four themes of the EYFS. These are important Principles and are the foundation for effective practice when caring for the development and learning of young children. The four themes are, A Unique Child, Positive Relationships, Enabling Environments, Learning and Development.
- A Unique Child - All children are competent learners from birth. They can be resilient, capable, confident and self assured.
- Positive Relationships - From a base of loving secure relationships with parents / key person children learn to be strong and independent.
- Enabling Environments - The key to extending a child's development and learning is their environment.
