The Early Years Curriculum
In Early Years we use the Development Matters document to plan for and assess the children's development.
The curriculum is divided into 7 areas of development, the prime areas and specific areas.
The Prime areas are:
- Communication and Language
- Physical Development
- Personal, Social and Emotional Development (PSED)
The Specific areas are:
- Literacy (Reading and Writing)
- Maths (Numbers and Shape, Space & Measure)
- Expressive Art and Design
- Understanding the World
Each area has specific statements related to the child's age of development in months. We use these to assess the children and plan for their next steps.
