This well-loved book by high-profile authors provides an accessible introduction to the history of early childhood education, featuring a series of conversations with key figures and pioneers.‘This book is an essential read for all those studying and working in the early yearsIt does indeed give a rootedness to our work and allows us to ponder. Most importantly it reminds us about the importance of the early years and our responsibility to continually advocate for the youngest children.’
-- Dr. Eunice Lumsden
′This unique text helps readers craft strong professional identities, unambiguous educational philosophies and conviction in their practice. The authors encourage reflexive and situated interpretations of lessons from the long history of early education; perceptive and respectful responses to signals young children give adults about their roles; and a weather eye to the policy telescope. Like a compass, this book provides points of reference for new pioneers to steer a course towards principled early years education, now and for the future.′
-- Dr Sacha Powell
