Learning is sequential, building on prior understandings and experiences

Learning proceeds at different rates in each area and each child; children will show a range of skills and understandings in any one area of development.

Learning in each area is interconnected. Young children learn best through experiences, which incorporate several areas of development.

Learning is embedded in a culture. Children learn best when their learning activities are rooted in cultural context.

Learning begins in the family, continues in early learning education settings.

All children have the potential to achieve the learning standards with appropriate supports and instruction, and become ready for Kindergarten.
