ECCE Aistear Siolta
 Aistear and Project Bubbles
Aistear is the new curriculum framework for all children from birth to six years across the range of early childhood settings in Ireland. It provides information, ideas and suggestions to help you support children's learning and development in these early years.
Aistear is not a documented curriculum. Practitioners will still be required to plan, create and implement their own early years education activities. Project Bubbles Resource Packs are Ireland’s favourite resource for preschool curriculum planning and will fully support the practitioner following the Aistear guidelines.
Aistear has four elements:
Principles and Themes describes children's learning and development
Guidelines for Good Practice focuses on partnerships with parents, interactions, play and assessment
User Guide gives practical information about using the Framework
Key Messages summarises important points from research used in developing Aistear.
Aistear was developed in partnership with the early childhood sector and supports many other developments including Síolta, The National Quality Framework for Early Childhood Education (2006), the Child Care (Pre-School) Regulations (2006) and the Primary School Curriculum (1999).
