The education and care of children under the age of eight has
become one of the major focuses of attention in recent education
research and policy-making around the world, and it is now widely
recognised that investment in provision at this stage can be both
cost effective and beneficial to the social fabric of communities.
Approaches to education in nurseries, kindergartens and preschools
have traditionally been significantly different from those that
inform the teaching of older children but, until recently, these
approaches have had little impact on education beyond early years
settings.
This wide-ranging collection of papers provides a valuable
resource for scholars who need to ground their own study in wider
historical and global discourses concerning the education of
children under eight. Including both important historical sources
and contemporary analysis of current issues, this fascinating set
represents a broad variety of countries, cultures and
traditions.
