EYFS: Brain Development in the Under Threes

A recent Linden Learning Early Years Foundation Stage commissioned course.

Aims and objectives

To develop an understanding of brain development from birth to three years and of how to apply this knowledge to effective early years practice:

  • To understand how the brain develops and functions from conception to the age of three
  • To reflect upon how young children develop and learn and how this impacts on the connections made within our brain
  • To understand the response of our brain to conflict situations and how this relates to young children and their ability to think
  • To consider the role of the adult in supporting early brain development in terms of positive relationships and enabling environments
  • To reflect upon the impact of extreme neglect and under stimulation on our brains
  • To make links with the EYFS and explore how practitioners should best support child (brain) development in their settings
LINDEN LEARNING EARLY YEARS COURSES
In-depth understanding of child development is essential to inform effective EYFS practice. Although this is a core part of initial training, revisiting and refreshing our learning with specific children in mind however can substantially improve our practice. The following courses will support this process.  
 

EYFS: Write Start

Aiming to enable participants to confidently teach writing in the EYFS and to support teachers in all aspects of teaching writing.

EYFS: Wellbeing and Involvement

Aiming to enable practitioners to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to effectively evaluate and improve the quality of children’s learning and provision.

EYFS: Behaviour

Aiming to develop the ability of practitioners to see situations from the perspective of the child given their developmental progress and current understanding.
