Early Years Learning Framework

BELONGING
Belonging is the basis for living a fulfilling life. Children feel they belong because of the relationships they have with their family, community, culture and place.

BEING
Being is about living here and now. Childhood is a special time in life and children need time to just ‘be’ – time to play, try new things and have fun.

BECOMING
Becoming is about the learning and development that young children experience. Children start to form their sense of identity from a young age, which shapes the kind of adult they will become.
