Development (NCFELD) The five developmental domains defined as essential to school readiness include approaches to play and learning, emotional and social development, health and physical development, language and communication, and cognitive development.
ELECT helps clarify these developmental markers for each age group and shows the approximate skills they should be learning at each age group. The domains are Social, Emotional, Communication, language, and literacy, Cognitive, and Physical.
Foundations is also intended to be a guide for teaching – not a curriculum or checklist that is used to assess children's development and learning, but a resource to define the skills and abilities we want to support in the learning experiences we provide for children.
The document is also referred to as Foundations and NCFELD, provides guidelines and strategies for early childhood educators to support the development and learning of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers in five developmental domains.
The North Carolina Constitution divides state government into three branches, Legislative, Executive, and Judicial.
So, what are the five domains? The acronym PILES stands for – physical, intellectual, language, emotional, social.
“There are five critical domains in a child's development,” said Dianna Fryer, Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph Child Development Program training and curriculum specialist. “Those domains are social, emotional, physical, cognitive and language.”
