Early Childhood Education
by Radhika Viruru
`[ Early Childhood Education ] will be very useful for psychologists, educators, sociologists and cultural anthropologists alike.... This book is a valuable addition both in the Indian and Western context... this is a very useful source provided by an "insider" of an alternative paradigm to be compared with ones with which they are more familiar' - Early Years Two major strands make up the heart of this book. The first strand consists of a critical postcolonial examination of dominant discourses about young children, which reflect mostly Western knowledge and perspectives. The other strand consists of a detailed ethnographic description of the postcolonial lived experiences of young children and the adults who work with them in one school in urban India are. The multiple and multidimensional ways in which childhood is experienced is explored through such means as a review of current Indian and Western literature on young children, an examination of historical ideas about childhood in different cultures, and finally through the lens of postcolonial theory. All this suggests that while dominant discourses of childhood speak about protecting the interests of children, by not recognizing the complexity of diverse children's life experiences they continue to disempower and marginalize them.
Food Nutrition and the Young Child
by Robert E. Rockwell
Management of Child Development Centers
by Verna Hildebrand
In this popular book, Hearron and Hildebrand position the child development program among the key components of a child's “ecosystem.” They show high-quality children's programs as essential support for a child's family—not as islands of education unconnected to the rest of a child's world. Coverage is clearly based on developmentally appropriate practices and the indicators of quality established by the NAEYC and organized around thirteen core competencies, with a full chapter devoted to each. The book is written in friendly, easy-to-understand language, and bolstered by learning aids, examples, and exercises that capture the reader's attention and keep it. For pre-school teachers and day-care personnel.
