About this title

Synopsis

Working with pre-school children places a special responsibility on those who care for them. Early interactions take place in a variety of ways, and this text explores opportunities which allow adults to respond to children's needs, particularly with reference to the development of the child's self-concept. It offers different perspectives on developing language and literacy skills, together with a focus on communication through creative and aesthetic experiences.
