The International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC) is a research-based, child-centered curriculum for children aged 2 to 5. The IEYC identifies best practices and developmental requirements in early childhood education, allowing teachers and practitioners to appreciate the interrelated nature of learning.
It gives a contemporary perspective that empowers instructors as they help children learn successfully and with delight by emphasizing playful, holistic, and child-focused approaches to learning and development.
