This new edition offers practical guidance for implementing developmentally appropriate practices for children from birth through age eight. It includes clear discussions and examples of what is best practice to nurture development of the whole child. Current issues such as readiness, whole language, multi-age grouping, and cultural diversity are addressed with an emphasis on child-centered curriculum. The application of theory to real situations, dialogues and interactions give direction to educators, caregivers, administrators and parents.
