Petition to protect the early years...

[AnonyMouse_22993]

Im not sure if this has been posted anywhere -had a look but couldn't spot it. The save childhood movement launched their campaign this week - Too much too soon with an open letter to the Telegraph. Their key objectives are:

1) re-establish the early years as a unique stage in its own right and not merely a preparation for school
2) protect young children's natural developmental rights
3) prevent baseline testing
4) reinstate the vital role of play
5) call for an English developmentally appropriate Foundation Stage for children between the ages of 3 and 7

This is the webpage with a link to the letter etc http://www.toomuchtoosoon.org/index.html

Please, please sign the petition , lobby your MP - even join the march on parliament. We have to stop the Government craziness.
