An Introduction to Early Childhood Studies

Maynard and Thomas, both affiliated with the Department of Early Childhood Studies at the University of Wales, present key themes of early childhood studies, in sections on the developing child, perspectives on childhood, policy and provision for young children, and effective practice. Each section of the book begins with a brief editorial introduction that draws attention to common themes and to differences of emphasis across chapters, and each chapter concludes with discussion questions and ideas for further study.
