Introduction to Early Childhood Education

by Eva L. Essa, Melissa M. Burnham

Introduction to Early Childhood Education provides current and future educators with a highly readable, comprehensive overview of the field. The underlying philosophy of the book is that early childhood educators’ most important task is to provide a program that is sensitive to and supports the development of young children. Author Eva L. Essa and new co-author Melissa Burnham provide valuable insight by strategically dividing the book into six sections that answer the "What, Who, Why, Where, and How" of early childhood education. Utilizing both NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) and DAP (Developmentally Appropriate Practice) standards, this supportive text provides readers with the skills, theories, and best practices needed to succeed and thrive as early childhood educators.

For a textbook this was great! Very informative and at the same time it was interesting. Really enjoyed the "closer look" boxes where there were interesting scenerios of experiences, testing, etc. A must for anyone interested in early childhood education!
