Description
Introduction to Early Childhood Education: A Canadian Perspective introduces students new to ECE to the field. The learner is introduced to children, their families, childcare settings and Canadian philosophical approaches through the use of photographs and real-world scenarios. Great care has been taken to accurately represent the diversity of Canadian culture. The photographs are inclusive of most cultures in Canada both visible and non-visible and from urban, rural, and isolated locations throughout the country. Readers of this text will work towards developing the relevant skills needed to work with children. In order to make skill development easier to understand and apply, these skills have been presented in the context of children, their families, children's environments and legislative requirements.
