With its real-life stories and invitations for reflection and
conversation, this book is an ideal professional development
resource for pre- and in-service birth-age 3 professionals. The
author shares lived experiences of being in four distinctly
different baby rooms as a researcher over extended periods of time.
She frames each life story around elements of well-being and asks
readers to consider whether and how environmental and relational
factors supported or hindered the physical, psychological, and
emotional well-being of the children and adults. The author
encourages readers to see themselves in the stories, to consider
how they may have acted in the circumstances described, and to
deliberate on their own practices and beliefs. With empathy and
respect, McMullen fully conveys an intent to elevate, celebrate,
and honor those who spend their days in infant toddler care and
education, while examining the critical role all adults in society
play in the lives of our youngest citizens.Book Features: Invites
personal reflection and discussion with colleagues in the form of
prompts and questions after each story. Provides a friendly but
scholarly look at the spaces, conditions, and quality of
birth-to-age three settings, the area of fastest growing need in
early childhood care and education (ECCE). Focuses on the
well-being of the adults and children featured in the book,
providing a holistic perspective on their needs, motivations, and
experiences. Emphasizes a here-and-now perspective in contrast to
books that tend to focus primarily on preparing children for future
outcomes and accomplishments.
