Review
"I think my students at the lower division level would find it manageable, just as students in the upper divisions would find it easy to read. Visually, it is so appealing and there are so many additional resources that accompany it such as links to web sites, discussion questions, suggested activities, etc... Competency Builders: These are a strength of the book. You could design lab assignments around these and practical application assignments that students could put in their professional portfolios...He [George Morrison] really does have his finger on the pulse of the field. I don't think you can get a more up-to-date text than this." **(Stacey York; Minneapolis Community & Technical College)
"George Morrison has a gift for combining a writing style that engages the reader with the presentation of content...It is the writing style that sets this text apart from the others in a positive way." (Mary Cordell; Navarro College)
"The key strengths are the amount and depth of information available! There is an amazing amount of detail here. The text does weave together Early Childhood Education and Foundations effectively. The supplemental materials add even greater strength. This is very comprehensive." (James Barta; Utah State University)

From the Publisher
A major revision--more than 50% of the text is brand new! This popular text focuses on the broad foundations of early childhood education rather than specific curriculum areas...offering a complete overview that encompasses current research into developmentally-appropriate practices, the history and evolution of the field, the variety of theories that abound in the field, and trends for the future. It is well-known for helping students translate broad concepts of educational theory into actual practice in the full range of early education settings, from infant and toddler programs, through Head Start and kindergartens, to primary programs--all involving inclusion of children with special needs.
