• Summary:"This edited collection of original chapters from academics across Canada brings together a historical and philosophical exploration of the major themes informing and guiding early childhood education and care (ECEC) in Canada today. It uniquely provides a broad overview of key approaches and issues in ECEC while deeply examining each historically and philosophically. The chapters include topics that have persisted through history (Indigenous knowledge and ways of knowing, play, nature/nurture, education for all, the whole child, and developmental approaches to the early years) as well as contemporary and reimagined themes in ECEC (children's rights; new sociology of childhood; equity, diversity and inclusion; Indigenous education and care; ecology; and technology)."-- Provided by publisher.
