Recognizing the various ecological contexts that support children's
development while amplifying voices from across the globe, this
book challenges narrow interpretations of quality and best
practice. Each author offers a unique perspective on issues germane
to the field of early childhood education: perceptions of children,
curriculum, teacher education, and play-based learning. An
innovative, timely, and much-needed contribution, this book
represents an inclusive collection of theoretical and cultural
knowledge, as well as research. Such a diverse multicentric lens
opens new intellectual pathways for authentic, reciprocal knowledge
exchange, while ensuring that a reimagining of early childhood
education remains at the core of our teaching practice,
scholarship, and activism. This book invites everyone to imagine,
to dare to believe, to hope, and to act-in the interests of
children, in the interests of communities and families, and in the
moral precepts of equity, inclusion and justice.
