This comprehensive text brings together the best information currently available for developing an integrated approach to curriculum and instruction in the early years.

The effective ideas presented are designed to give readers a cohesive view of the what, why, and how of developmentally appropriate practices. Each chapter addresses principles of age-appropriateness, individual appropriateness, and social and cultural appropriateness.
