"We provide both responsive and intentional learning for children in our day to-day practice. By this we mean that we constantly respond to the needs of young children alongside planning and implementing intentional experiences to help them develop their skills, knowledge and understanding of the world around them. Responsive and intentional planning approaches start with our observations and interpretations of the  young child’s actions, emotions and words. This tells us what the child needs for us to provide in their learning environment. A child-centred approach to planning learning will help the child connect each new discovery to what they already know." Realising the Ambition, Education Scotland (2020)
