Early

Years

Introduction

The Early Years education program must consider the whole child, by recognizing her or his intellectual, emotional, physical, and social needs. Within this context consideration must be given to the child's cultural and ethnic background.

The learning environment must provide children with:

	opportunities for selection of activities
	materials for self-initiated activities
	a variety of experiences both within and outside the classroom
	opportunities to enhance feelings of self-worth.
