Creative Development
This area of learning has five early learning
goals organised into four strands. The goals that comprise each of the
strands are shown below. Be aware that the goals indicate what children
are expected to be able to do at the end of The Early
Years Foundation Stage. The curriculum also includes ‘stepping stones’
which suggest learning and skills that children may achieve as they
progress to the Early Learning Goals. For further information visit the
QCA website.
