Building on the success of last year, Mudiad Meithrin are announced as a new partner of the Creative Learning in the Early Years initiative, creating more opportunities for Welsh language settings across Wales.
Creative Learning in the Early Years is a joint initiative between the Arts Council of Wales, Early Years Wales, Mudiad Meithrin and the Welsh Government and is supported by Paul Hamlyn Foundation.
The initiative brings together Early Years Practitioners and Creative Professionals to create environments and experiences that are rich in language, play, physical development, engagement with the outdoors, arts, creativity, and a sense of wonder and belonging.
Creative Learning in the Early Years builds on the well-established Lead Creative Schools Scheme, delivered by Arts Council of Wales, which has brought bespoke projects to over 700 primary, secondary and special schools. The scheme has supported schools to nurture the creativity of learners and has prepared them to get ready for the new Curriculum for Wales 2022.
