The home is the prime place in which children learn to be. This is where they learn to be a human being. I also firmly believe in observational learning as the key and main part of learning. Before a child could speak, they can see the actions of their parents; they can hear the words that come out of their mouths. A child is usually with their parents for three to five years before they enter into the public schools.

The programme has 5 possible outcomes, including ‘Be Healthy’ which the activity itself links in to. Once we had gathered all the necessary information, we then had to plan how to deliver the information to the children in a way that all abilities could understand.
As a small child one is taught right from wrong, develops empathy for others through behavioral observation, and learns to behave in a manner acceptable in his or her immediate environment. For most children, the parent plays a key role in helping to develop an ethical system3. The parents' system derived from their parents' ethical codes as well as what they personally have experienced over their lifetimes. For many families, the church or religious belief has a great deal to do with how ethics and morals are definable. As a child grows older he or she begins to attend school to develop skills and ethics.

The Early Years Foundation stage was revised in England in September 2012, this was to set out one standard framework for learning, development and care for all children from birth until the children reach the age of end of Reception year.
