Get a basic understanding of the views of five groundbreaking theorists in the area of early childhood care: John Dewey, Maria Montessori, Erik Erikson, Jean Piaget, and Lev Vygotsky. Dewey examines the relationship of curriculum to life; Montessori, the need for carefully prepared classroom environments; Erikson, an approach to making children healthy and comfortable; Piaget, the knowledge of children's thought processes; and Vygotsky, the importance of teachers and peers in learning. This book is perfect for several teaching contexts: undergraduate programs, community college courses, training workshops, or to help keep your program's staff aware of the theory behind good child care practice.
