The landscape of early childhood education and care is changing.
Governments world-wide are assuming increasing authority in
relation to child-rearing in the years before school entry, beyond
the traditional role in assisting parents to do the best they can
by their children. As part of a social agenda aimed at forming
citizens well prepared to play an active part in a globalised
knowledge economy, the idea of 'early learning' expresses the
necessity of engaging caregivers right from the start of children's
lives. Nichols, Rowsell, Rainbird, and Nixon investigate this trend
over three years, in two countries, and three contrasting regions,
by setting themselves the task of tracing every service and agent
offering resources under the banner of early learning. Far from a
dry catalogue, the study involves in-depth ethnographic research in
fascinating spaces such as a church-run centre for African refugee
women and children, a state-of-the-art community library and an
Australian country town. Included is an unprecedented inventory of
an entire suburban mall. Richly visually documented, the study
employs emerging methods such as Google-mapping to trace the
travels of actual parents as they search for particular resources.
Each chapter features a context investigated in this large,
international study: the library, the mall, the clinic, and the
church. The author team unravels new spaces and new networks at
work in early childhood literacy and development.
