Journal Focus
The Journal of Foundational Learning and Child Development is a peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to advancing knowledge and practice in early and primary education. The journal focuses on the developmental period from birth through the early years of primary/elementary schooling (ages 0–8), with an emphasis on foundational literacy and numeracy, curriculum and pedagogy, and cognitive and socio-emotional development.
The journal provides a platform for scholarly work on inclusive and special education, effective learning environments, assessment practices, and the professional development of educators. It also engages with research on education policies and early learning systems that support equitable and high-quality educational experiences for all children. Through interdisciplinary and empirical contributions, the journal aims to inform theory, policy, and practice in early and foundational learning contexts.
