Build a child care program that develops children's sense of wonder and joy for learning, incorporates cultural diversity as a teaching tool, and fosters healthy relationships.Build a child care program that develops children's sense of wonder and joy for learning, incorporates cultural diversity as a teaching tool, and fosters healthy relationships.Ask yourself the questions posed in this book, whether you are searching for child care or wondering why our smallest and most important citizens dont have more quality early education programs available in a more equitable manner. This is a great teachers guide for those entering the field?and a?great staff development idea for ECE centers.

The book is well connected to literature, the authors own research and perspective, and an eye toward the future with tools for creating places for child care that are good for kids. If only we could bottle up Rosa Lee Young and give it to all children.

I cannot think of anything pertaining to high-quality child care programs that isn't covered in this book. The organization is clear, consistent, and easy to follow. The books power is in its details which utilize nuance from the small places, here a child care center. With detail of everyday moments in everyday lives, they breathe life into principles gathered from the study of many fields over decades. The Beckers provide the light of substance for child care workers, directors, teachers, graduate and undergraduate educators, policy makers, and?children alike. Students in this course are developing their own programming, the text doesn't provide quite enough information for that project.Foreword by Rebecca Shahmoon Shanok
