Using an analytical but accessible style, it addresses several of the most persistent conventional wisdoms in the field, bringing a wide and creative range of material from a variety of disciplines and diverse cultures to bear. Early childhood educators and researchers, policy makers and advocates... will welcome this thoughtful book.” Martha Friendly, Director, Childcare Resource and Research Unit, University of Toronto, Canada “This is a very readable account of theories and approaches in early childhood care and education.
