Nova Scotia Early Learning Curriculum Framework
Capable, Confident, and Curious
In 2020 the province introduced the NS Early Learning Curriculum Framework that guides educators practices and contributes to creating and maintaining quality programming and excellent learning and developmental outcomes for children. The principals surrounding the framework focus on play-based learning, relationships, inclusion, diversity and equity, learning environments, and reflective practices.
Each classroom provides a consistent approach focusing on the same four learning goals for each child's development. These are Well-being, Discovery and Invention, Language and Communication, and Personal and Social Responsibility.
