DFEE Early Learning Goals for children's learning.

We abide by the DFEE Early Learning Goals for children's learning. This is broken down into six areas:

1. Personal, Social and Emotional Development

   Personal, social and emotional development focuses on children learning how to work, play, co-operate with others and function in a group beyond the family.

2. Communication, Language and Literacy

   Communication, language and literacy focuses on children's developing competence in talking and listening, and becoming readers and writers.

3. Mathematics

   Mathematics covers aspects of mathematical understanding and provides the foundation for numeracy.

4. Knowledge and Understanding of the World

   This focuses on children developing knowledge and understanding of their environment, other people and features of the natural and man made world.

5. Physical Development

   This focuses on children's developing physical control, mobility, awareness of space and manipulative skills in indoor and outdoor environments.

6. Creative Development

   This focuses on the development of children's imagination and ability to communicate and express ideas and feelings in creative ways.
