Foundation learning and those delivering the nonmaintained curriculum

One prevalent myth in early childhood development is the belief that all children follow the same developmental pathway. According to this misconception, for a child to be deemed as progressing well, they must exhibit typical and non-disabled learning and development. However, child development is inherently rich, diverse and varied. This course explores the various ways children can develop, providing new perspectives and insights into divergent pathways of development.

This course is developed by an early childhood specialist who also has lived experience of neurodivergence and disability. (www.eyfs4me.com, [email protected])
