This volume explores early childhood education policies and
practices in the Caribbean. Early childhood development has gained
increasing importance as part of national agendas to achieve social
and economic goals. Regional guidelines and action plans have been
developed, but progress across nations varies. Chapters in the book
analyze child policies and issues, critically examine progress on
alignment between policies and practices, and propose
recommendations for advocacy and implementation that may advance
the early childhood development agenda throughout the Caribbean.
The book includes the perspectives of early childhood
practitioners, policymakers, caregivers, representatives from
family agencies as well as other key stakeholders in the education
of young children. Across these diverse viewpoints is a shared
commitment to children's well being and the necessity of an
integrated response that captures the challenges and opportunities
of early childhood development services and initiatives that are
framed based on contextual relevance and cultural appropriateness.
Part One includes chapters that advocate for national policies
throughout the Caribbean to support young children. Chapters in
Part Two call for quality early childhood programming that is based
on the tenets of developmentally appropriate practice. Part Three
considers the pedagogical dilemmas that arise in math and literacy
when schools negate purposeful and engaging early childhood
curriculum. Part Four presents various perspectives on child
protection and the necessary infrastructure of policies and
practices to ensure cognitive, social, and physical development of
young children in the Caribbean. This important resource promotes
critical discourse on the current status of children and efforts
that have been developed to effectively advocate for the rights of
the young.
