Schemas Poster Set – Early Childhood Learning Behaviours | Printable PDF

This six-page poster set introduces the core schemas observed in early childhood and shows how they typically appear from birth to five years. Each page explains schema behaviours in clear, educator-friendly language, helping you recognise patterns in children’s play and respond with intentional planning, environments and interactions.

Schemas — such as trajectory, transporting, connecting, enclosing and rotating — describe how children explore ideas, test theories and make sense of the world. These posters break down each schema into short, accessible descriptions that align with early childhood pedagogy and support observations, documentation and conversations with families.

Designed in distinct colour themes for each age group, this set is ideal for room displays, educator folders, induction packs, programming areas and professional learning spaces.
