Quality in diversity in early learning presents a framework to enable early childhood practitioners to consider, understand, support and extend the learning of young children from birth to eight years. It consists of three main elements:
Foundations: five ideas which are integral to worthwhile learning in the early years
Goals: detailed descriptions of what the foundations mean in terms of children's learning
Children's entitlements: to ensure that the foundations are firmly established in every setting
Intended for use by individuals or groups working across a range of early years settings, this is an invaluable resource for promoting the interests of young children.
