Early Childhood Education in Social and Political Transitions - The Legacy of the Open Society Foundations Step by Step Program

This open access book is about the successes and challenges of the institutions and individuals who transformed early child education and care (ECEC) in Central Eastern Europe(CEE)/Eurasia in response to the political transitions to democracy in the 1990s. Through new interviews and unpublished reports, the book gives voice to committed practitioners, researchers and policymakers who are developing inspiring services for and with young children and their families, who live in very difficult circumstances. They work with children affected by war, refugee families with young children, children who live in poverty, children of minorities, and children with disabilities and developmental delays. The voices of these pedagogues and experts who were supported by the Open Society Foundations Early Childhood Program, as well as voices of parents, government, and NGO leaders, bring inspiring messages to those in the field of early childhood. The book traces the extension of programs to Africa and Asia and explores how strategies used to transform ECEC following the political and social transformations in CEE/Eurasia can inform responsive reforms and innovations in early childhood education today and in the future. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by Open Society Foundation (OSF).
