Frameworks for Learning and Development supports training and delivery of the Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care. The text primarily addresses developmental subjects/competencies while linking to the EYLF and reflects the key components of the National Quality Framework (NQF) for Children's Services as they relate to curriculum and pedagogical practices in early childhood settings. Each domain of development and related curriculum and pedagogy is explored in separate chapters, helping you to gain in-depth knowledge of child development before taking on the challenge of addressing 'the whole child'. You will also explore play-based pedagogy, what it means, and how it might influence curriculum design. Premium online teaching and learning tools are available on the MindTap platform.
