5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Beginning Resource
Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2013

This book has been very helpful in my job as a consultant to early childhood programs - especially to those developing the theory and practice of a REggio-Inspired curriculum which among other principles is very child-centered. I am familiar with the work of the authors and probably wouldn't have purchased it otherwise. It has very simple clear ideas for reflection and self evaluation. I particularly appreciated the section that compared one type of curriculum to another using October as an example. It listed typical activities in a traditional approach and then followed them with a richer, more open-ended, child-centered and intentional set of experiences. It was very concrete for teachers that need detailed examples such as this.

This is a great book for Eces, teachers, or anyone working with children, whether you are new to the field or been in the field for years. In particular I like that with each section real reflective stories are used along with questions for you to use for yourself or with your team. This book was incredibly inspiring with a great amount of insight into child centered practice and how to navigate obstacles that might get in the way of this type of practice.
