Like Bees, not Butterflies

Child-initiated learning in the Early Years

Published: 17 February, 2009

Why is it that, when children play, some behave like butterflies, flitting around among the flowers of the activities on offer, landing for a moment before moving on to the next attractive flower (activity) while others behave with the single minded concentration of bees?

This book, written by a group of experts in early years practice, explores the place and purpose of Child-initiated learning in high quality early years practice. Child-initiated learning is a key feature of the new Early Years Foundation Stage which was implemented in September 2008.
