Young children of today have to cope in adulthood with uncertainties, complexities
and choices in a fast-changing world. It is impossible to predict the types of
knowledge, skills and attitudes that children will require in order to lead creative,
fulfiled lives. It is essential therefore that we help children to learn how to learn. The
foundations and dispositions of this active, independent, creative learning and cultural
development must be laid in the early years through practical and purposeful
experiences and sensitive interaction with parents, teachers and peers. The
development of 100% provision for the pre-school cohort in Northern Ireland will
provide a significant basis for such experiences.
