Adventures with Children: In the Early School Years

Adventures with Children in the Early School Years was written to give parents and educators a lively and accurate picture of what good nursery and kindergarten experiences might provide for young children. There is really no such thing as “pre-school”, as children two years old to six are at a crucial learning phase already. With its focus on the needs of young children, the book has been chosen by Directors of many Head Start and full-day programs and as a guide for private day-care centers. Very different learning experiences are appropriate for children aged two, four or six. Many experienced teachers have contributed observations about how children learn from active, first-hand sensory experiences, to help teachers in training explore attitudes and activities that contribute toward the child’s healthy development.
