Early Years Pioneers in Context by Pam Jarvis

Early Years Pioneers in Context by Pam Jarvis

This accessible text explores the lives and work of ten internationally renowned pioneers of early years education and care. It places each pioneer within the time and culture in which they lived to help the reader understand how theories and knowledge about early years education and care have evolved over time.

"At a time when early years practice in England appears increasingly shaped by political agendas, it is refreshing to read a book that reminds us that it does not necessarily have to be this wayIn true pioneering spirit, Jarvis, Swiniarski and Holland take us on a journey of discovery through the contribution of notable historical figures associated with the early years from the beginning of the nineteenth until the end of the twentieth century."
