Recenzje

"The various contributions here offer glimpses of the interesting and uneven history of early childhood education...A constant theme is the ongoing stuggle of early childhood educators to gain respect for young children's abilities to construct knowledge from their own interests and interaction with materials. Re- visioning what education can be and who children are as learners is the challenge. Summing up: Recommended." — S. Sugarman, Emerita, Bennington College, Vermont State Colleges, for CHOICE, December 2013
