Implementing Aistear 2024
Aistear: the Early Childhood Curriculum Framework was first published by the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA) in 2009. Aistear was the first curriculum framework for early childhood education in Ireland. It celebrates early childhood as a time of being, a time for enjoying and learning from experiences as they unfold, and laying important foundations for later learning and for life.
