The Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework:
Ages Birth to Five Describes the skills, behaviors, and knowledge that programs must foster in all children.
Guiding Principles:
Each Child is unique and can succeed.
Learning occurs within the context of relationships.
Families are children's first and most important caregivers, teachers, and advocates.
Children learn best when they are emotionally and physically safe and secure.
Areas of development are integrated, and children learn many concepts and skills at the same time.
Teaching must be intentional and focused on how children learn and grow.
Every child has diverse strengths rooted in their family's culture, background, language, and beliefs.
Preschoolers:
From 3 to 5 years of age, experiences continue to have a strong impact on brain development and learning. Children build on their earlier experiences to learn even more complex ways of communicating, relating, exploring, and understanding the world around them.
Children with Disabilities:
It is essential that programs identify the strengths and abilities of all children to ensure that learning opportunities are maximized and that all children are fully included in every educational experience and activity. Children with disabilities may need more individualized or intensive instruction in order to develop and learn the skills, behaviors, and concepts described in the Framework.
