Aistear

Aistear is an Irish framework guiding early childhood education, focusing on how young children learn through play and their interactions. It emphasizes key areas such as well-being, identity, communication, exploring and thinking, and managing feelings and behavior. Aistear encourages educators and parents to create nurturing environments that support children's natural curiosity, development, and learning. By understanding these core areas, adults can better support children’s growth across emotional, social, cognitive, and physical domains during their early years, laying a strong foundation for lifelong learning and development.
