In the early nineteenth century, governments introduced
kindergartens and infant schools to give children a head start in
life. These programs hinged on new visions of childhood that
origin-ated in England and Europe, but what happened when they were
exported to the colonies? This book unwinds the tangled threads of
this history, from early infant schools in England to three
Commonwealth countries - Canada, Australia, and New Zealand - where
systems of educating young children were transplanted but adapted
to suit local ideas, politics, and populations. This unique,
comparative approach to the history of early childhood education
provides fresh insight into how to reconcile educational theory and
practice in an increasingly global world.
