Series Details:
Books in this forward-thinking series challenge existing practices in early childhood education and reflect the changing images of the field in the 21st century. The series enables early childhood professionals to engage with contemporary ideas and practices of alternative perspectives which deviate from those theories traditionally associated with the education of young children and their families. Not only do these books make complex theory accessible, they provide early childhood professionals with the tools to ensure their practices are backed by appropriate theoretical framework and strong empirical evidence.
