Description

Practical in approach, this popular book explains how to develop and present a comprehensive, developmentally appropriate, and culturally sensitive curriculum for young children. KEY TOPICS: Divided according to the emotional, social, creative, physical, and cognitive selves, this book focuses on the developmental needs of children, rather than on specific subject areas. Designed to encourage children to become independent, creative people, this text advocates curriculum that is age appropriate and emphasizes play as the indicator of learning.
