Project lessons and manuals aimed to provide a framework with knowledge and understanding of each country’s educational system: Types of ECEC and facilities, Curriculum content and structure, Legislation including welfare requirements, Qualifications, Roles and responsibilities, Inclusive practice, Monitoring and assessment and Partnership with parents. Can be used by other Early Years Educators to gain knowledge of educational systems.
The manuals aimed to support EYE to present work in their preschool based on the ECEC ethos and values. This includes a professional approach to children, colleagues, and parents (caregivers) and the assignments and goals prescribed for the pre-schools apply to all children regardless of age, gender, ethnic, cultural, and linguistic background. Early Years Educators can use the material to develop key ideas, describe their own preschool, work with focus groups and reflections.
