- Partnerships with families and communities strengthen the ability of early childhood settings to meet the needs of young children
- Respect for diversity, equity, and inclusion are prerequisites for honouring children’s rights, optimal development, and learning
- A planned curriculum supports early learning
- Play is a means to early learning that capitalizes on children’s natural curiosity and exuberance
- Knowledgeable, responsive educators are essential
