This educational book is intended for current and future professionals who want to learn more about early childhood education. This field involves working with children from infancy through the primary grades, and this book includes information about infants, toddlers, and preschool programs. Generally, this book is for those who plan to or are currently teaching and caring for young children.
"An Introduction to Early Childhood Education" is also relevant for those in other early childhood program specializations—such as administration, parent education, enrollment coordination, curriculum coordination, and staff training consultants. The book is built on the specific philosophy that an early childhood teacher's role is to provide a sensitive and supportive program for the growth and development of young children. In child-centered programs—where children are allowed to make choices, instructions are clear and logical, activities are planned to suit the individual needs of each child within the group, and are sensitive to their cultural and family backgrounds, and where adults are consistent and loving—children will thrive. Positive early childhood experiences can contribute in an unparalleled way to helping children become responsible and caring individuals. You will find this philosophy reflected throughout the pages of this book, in every chapter, and within every topic.
