The First Edition of this book provided a theoretical underpinning and a practical exposition of the developmental approach to education. Its focus was particularly relevant during a period when extensive research forcefully revealed the importance of early years education.This fully-revised and updated Second Edition takes account of the changes in early childhood education imposed by the arrival of The National Curriculum. The contributors believe that early childhood education is distinctive and has its own standards of excellence. The book sets out to show how to combine knowledge of child development, curriculum planning, and the role of subject-knowledge, in order to make adequate educational provision, from a developmental point of view.This book supports all teachers who believe that children matter as individuals, and who wish to offer their pupils experiences which will promote their development and genuinely enrich their lives.
