Quality Area 5:
Relationships with children 1. Goodstart Early Learning recognises that young children have the
opportunity to thrive in early childhood education settings when they
have positive and secure relationships with educators who know how
to nurture and stimulate their learning, development, and wellbeing.
2. Goodstart educators are attuned to individual children and create
warm, trusting, and secure relationships with them and between
groups of children. These relational pedagogies are is fundamental
to children's emerging self-regulation, learning, development, and
well-being. Goodstart educators ensure every child feels safe, is

childhood

being aware of their rights.
2. Establish and preserve a caring, inclusive, safe environment that promotes the physical,
emotional, social, and cognitive growth of every child. This entails offering chances for play,
learning, and discovery in a safe environment.
● In relation to families:
1. Form and preserve cooperative, courteous, and transparent relationships with families.
Acknowledge and value the essential role that families play in their children's lives, and involve
them in their education and growth.
2. Show cultural awareness and openness, recognizing and honoring the various origins, beliefs,
and customs of every family. This helps a child feel like they belong and have an identity.
1. Uphold the highest standards of professional ethics through reflective practice and ongoing
education. This entails keeping up with the most recent findings and recommended procedures in
the field of early childhood education.
2. Promote the rights and welfare of every child in the context of the larger community and legal
systems. This entails speaking out for the needs of kids and making sure that their overall
development is given first priority when making decisions.
● In relation to the community:
1. Take an active role in establishing collaborations with the local community to improve
children's learning and development chances. Collaborations with neighborhood services,
organizations, and cultural groups can fall under this category.
2. Encourage an environment of community building in the early childhood setting that values
equity, inclusivity, and mutual respect for all participants. Children benefit from this by learning
about social responsibility and their place in the larger community.
● In relation to colleagues:
1. Encourage coworkers to work together and show respect for one another. Exchange
information, expertise, and resources to help each other's professional development as well as
the children's overall development.
2. Foster a helpful and upbeat work atmosphere by giving constructive criticism, appreciating one
another's accomplishments, and handling disagreements in a civil and professional way.

● Children’s early brain development
In the first few years of life, more than 1 million new neural connections are formed every second.
After this period of rapid proliferation, connections are reduced through a process called pruning,
so that brain circuits become more efficient.

It provides important opportunities to learn and develop. Early childhood education and care can
help your child make friends, develop independence and learn new routines. It also supports their
transition to school.

Early child development sets the foundation for lifelong learning, behavior, and health. The
experiences children have in early childhood shape the brain and the child's capacity to learn, to
get along with others, and to respond to daily stresses and challenges.

two (2) areas that can be considered or questions which can be asked regarding the child and their family for

1. Hormonal Differences: Because of variations in sex chromosomes, boys and girls have
different hormonal profiles. The development of the brain and behavior are influenced by these
hormones.
2. Physical Development: The development of secondary sexual traits and reproductive organs is

these features.

12. There are many theorists related to early childhood development. In the table below, link the theorist to
their theoretical perspective and in your own words, briefly explain each theoretical perspective.
Theorists:
● Ivan Pavlov
● Jean Piaget
● Glenda MacNaughton
● Lev Vygotsky
● Margaret Donaldson
● Albert Bandura
● Loris Malaguzzi
● B.F Skinner
● Paulo Friere
● Michael Foucault

Critical ion
Critical theory perspectives are concerned with Paulo Friere
curriculum as both the effect and the source of Michael Foucault
inequalities and social discrimination. Their
focus is not only on how educational success
and failure are created through curriculum, but
also on how it builds social ideologies, power,
and identities.

Sociocultural theory stresses the role that Lev Vygotsky

is largely a social process, and that our
cognitive functions are formed based on our
interactions with those around us who are
"more skilled."
