Learning Opportunities in the Early Years
Young children benefit from reflective educators who plan ahead on the basis of knowing their children, their current interests and capabilities, and also what they are keen to puzzle out and learn for themselves. Each title in this series of Learning Opportunities in the Early Years offers a specific focus for children’s learning, with activities for you to fine-tune for young children you know well. These educator-initiated activities happen within a day or session when children have plenty of time for initiating and organising their own play. Your focus for the activities is short term. Plan ahead just enough so that everything is poised to go.
