Hello everyone, my name is Kitty-Alice and I am a level 4 Advanced Practitioner Certificate student, writing my final research project and wondered if I could gather your views on my project. I am researching early colour recognition in the EYFS, and whether this should be included into the younger age bands, in order to aid the sooner detection of colour vision defectiveness in children. What I would love to know, is do you think colour recognition should be implemented at a younger age then the current bands it falls into (predominantly 30-50/40-60+ months)? I am a Senior Nursery Practitioner in a local nursery in Chelmsford, and work with children from 1.5 to 2.5 years old, and have implemented colour recognition in this age group via our circle time colour of the week, with activities to support this development, so can see that this age group can recognise colours, but what are your views? All responses will be completely confidential and names will not be used. A copy of the finished data project will be made available to anyone who is interested in the results.
Thank you for your help!
Kitty-Alice French
