Page 9:
The development of knowledge and understanding
Every culture decides what knowledge it considers important and worthwhile for its children to know. For young children knowledge is acquired most effectively through learning environments that support their innate curiosity and desire to make sense of, and build on, their experiences. It is important to ensure a focus on areas of knowledge and understanding that not only serve the wider culture, but have real meaning and purpose for the
child.
