For Introduction to Early Childhood Education courses.

Covers ages 0-8. This text offers students a practical foundation in how to deliver quality early education and care through its focus on curriculum.

The author weaves five essential elements of effective early childhood education throughout the book: understanding development, play, guidance, working with families, and diversity.
