WI Early Learning Standards

Health and Physical Development - This includes knowledge and activities that promote healthy living, safety, fitness and nutrition. Coordination, balance, large and small muscle control and the use of all senses are emphasized to improve learning.
Social and Emotional Development - This includes children’s feelings about themselves and others, their ability to form relationships, interest in and skills needed to maintain positive relationships with adults and children, ability to understand the perspective and feelings of others and skills needed to succeed in a group setting. Children’s early relationships are the foundation for social and emotional competence and cognitive development.
Language Development and Communication - This refers to children’s developing ability to convey and interpret meaning. This is reflected in their progress in listening and understanding, speaking and communication, and early literacy.
Approaches to Learning - This recognizes that children approach learning in different ways and emphasizes the development of positive attitudes and dispositions to acquire information. It is inclusive of a child’s curiosity about the world and openness to new tasks and challenges; initiative, staying on task and paying attention; imagination and invention; and cognitive skills.
Cognition and General Knowledge - This recognizes children’s search for meaning as the basis for intellectual development. It focuses on children’s curiosity about the world and their developing ability to acquire, organize, and use information in increasingly complex ways to satisfy that curiosity. Children are engaged in and appreciate the arts to express ideas and feelings. Primary components include mathematics and logical thinking, scientific thinking and problem-solving, and understanding social studies.
