Aistear is the curriculum framework for children from birth to six years in Ireland. It provides information for adults to help them plan for and provide enjoyable and challenging experiences so that all children can grow and develop as competent and confident learners within loving relationships with others. Aistear celebrates early childhood as a time of being, and of enjoying and learning from experiences as they unfold. It is underpinned by twelve interconnecting principles presented in 3 groups:
- Children and their lives in early childhood
- Children’s connections with others
- How children learn and develop
Miss Stapleton and Miss Noonan commenced Aistear in Junior Infants today. The boys enjoyed themselves and hopefully they will enjoy all their new learning experiences.
