Aistear

Primary

Aistear is the new curriculum framework for all children from birth to six years across the range of early childhood settings in Ireland. It provides information to help practitioners, including infant teachers and Early Start teachers, to plan for and provide enjoyable and appropriately challenging learning experiences that will allow all children grow and develop as competent and confident learners. Aistear describes the types of learning experiences that are important for children in early childhood, and offers lots of practical ideas and suggestions. Examples of how this learning might be nurtured are also given. The programme is of interest to teachers of Junior Infants.
