The new EYFS teaching resources making a difference

[Ivona Pelajic]

Earlyarts is unveiling a new range of creative EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) teaching resources that are underpinned by scientific and pedagogical research and evidence.  

Recent research enabled the demonstration of evidence of the significant impact of arts and culture on very young children and their parents, both in terms of learning through the arts and in the arts. For instance, high quality arts or cultural experiences in early childhood can have a very significant impact on children's subsequent abilities in the arts.

Early years arts and cultural activities also has been shown to have impact on cognitive development by enhancing a wide range of curriculum foci (e.g. language development, numeracy, literacy, personal/social/emotional/ physical/spiritual development and understanding of people and cultures).

Drawing on 10 years of experience coupled with current neuroscience and pedagogical research into what helps children learn, Earlyarts' new EYFS resources place creative teaching and learning right at the heart of early education practice. These resources will be pedagogically focused with the aim of connecting neurological pathways using creativity during children's early years.

In conjunction with these new resources, Earlyarts will be opening the doors to a series of training webinars, consultancy and an international research bank. These will be drawn from evidence-based teaching methodologies such as Reggio Emilia, Te Whariki and Experiential Learning, which are directly relevant to the creative ways in which young children learn. These resources will be designed to bring the EYFS to life and make the practice of early education more enjoyable and more effective – for both the adult and the child.
