Description
Mission Statement: The mission of the series is to provide an integrated view of current knowledge within the various areas of early childhood education. Each volume in the series will present a scholarly, but accessible review of research and theory related to some aspect of early childhood education. The topics to be covered in each volume will be determined by which aspects of the field are considered particularly important at the time of its development as well as which are particularly generative in relation to current research and theory.
