This report aims to deepen understanding of the domains of children’s learning and development that are covered by the early childhood learning trajectories. It shows how the learning  trajectories relate to early childhood assessment tools.

It also analyses international examples of learning trajectories and provides a glimpse into the extensive body of research on how children learn and develop. The learning trajectories are informed by extensive consultation and early field testing with teachers, educators, leaders and policy-makers in the ECEC sector, whose insights are summarised here.
