The Early Education of Children offers a clear, practical guide for teachers and parents on how to nurture young learners from infancy through early school years.

Drawing on years of classroom experience, the book blends ideas with concrete activities, showing how theory can translate into everyday practice in a way that makes sense in real classrooms and homes.

Structured to be read in parts, it emphasizes variety, movement, and attention to the whole child. The text covers guiding principles, methods for singing, storytelling, pictures, games, and handwork, and it discusses the role of the teacher and the parent working together. There is a strong focus on making learning meaningful through demonstrations, demonstrations, and hands-on activities that connect reading, writing, number, and nature to the child’s daily life.

Readers will find practical schemes, sample lesson ideas, and guidance on organizing activity, observation, and assessment in a way that supports gentle, purposeful growth. The work also reflects on the importance of adapting instruction to children’s interests and needs, while maintaining a cohesive plan that ties together different subjects around core experiences.

Foundational philosophy: blending theory and practice to support real classroom work
Methods for language, reading, number, music, nature study, and handwork
Structured activity plans, demonstrations, and practical suggestions for teachers and parents
Strategies for curriculum planning, observation, and collaboration with families

Ideal for educators and caregivers seeking a comprehensive approach to early childhood education.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
