Description
An introductory resource that focuses on the concepts and critical functions in early childhood education, including curriculum, developmentally appropriate practice, multicultural issues, and special needs. It comprehensively covers the entire range of early childhood education - from infancy through early primary. This new edition emphasizes a multicultural approach to teaching and learning to help children and teachers and caregivers respond more sensitively to different cultural practices and values. The "Our Diverse World" feature in each chapter has been expanded and refreshed to highlight content that relates to cultural diversity, antibias curriculum, and children with special needs.
