D1: Explain the relevance of the title to children’s care or education.
In an early years setting, it is essential that a practitioner supports the children’s play, learning and development because this will then enable certain learning goals to be achieved in relation to the early year’s foundation stage framework for development. These learning goals that the practitioner will help to support the children develop will have an overall effect on how they are able to learn and behave later in life. Also, by the practitioner helping to support each child, any disabilities (physical or mental) will be noticed and supported much earlier on in the child’s life which will make things easier for them as they will have a stronger support system put in place.
However, in order to fully support each child then the practitioners need to be able to understand and follow certain frameworks such as Early Years’ Foundation Stage and Common Assessment Framework which will allow Early Years’ Practitioners to see and compare how the children are developing
Each child has their own learning plan which each practitioner will follow closely to make sure the child is receiving enough support through-out all the areas of development. This will also allow practitioners to be able to highlight any areas that might be of concern and require additional support. A child’s individual learning plan is unique to them so in order for a practitioner to be able to fully support the child’s development within play and learning, they will have to adapt their resources and levels of support that each child receives. Also by following a child’s individual learning plan, the practitioner is about to take their time with supporting areas of concern and are able to revisit and reinforce previously learnt learning in a way that the child would be familiar
