Technology in the Early Years Foundation Stage The Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage sets the standards for learning development and care from birth to five. Within the "Understanding the World" area of learning and development there is a specific technology learning goal: "Children recognise that a range of technology is used in places such as homes and schools. They select and use technology for particular purposes."
