Overarching Principles

Overarching Principles

Within the Early Years Foundation Stage framework, there are four overarching principles which underpin the seven areas of learning:

  • A Unique Child – Every child is a competent learner from birth who can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured.
  • Positive Relationships – Children learn to be strong and independent from a base of caring and secure relationships with parent and staff.
  • Enabling Environment – The environment plays a key role in supporting and extending children’s development and learning.
  • Learning and Development – Children learn and develop in different ways and at different rates and all areas of learning and development are equally important and interconnected.
