Early Childhood Education: An Introduction

Early Childhood Education: An Introduction is based on the belief that teachers of young children must be highly skilled-knowledgeable about children, their parents, and the community in which they live, as well as the processes of teaching curriculum content. The authors take a comprehensive, integrated approach, offering preservice teachers a complete and current overview of the field. Extensive revisions in each chapter of the Fourth Edition reflect not only current references, but also the most current thinking in the field of early childhood education today.
