This  new book provides accessible explanations of the key theories,  concepts, and approaches that form the foundations of early childhood  education. Unpicking terms like "attachment," "constructivism," and  "heuristic play" and introducing both established and less-known  contemporary theorists, it is designed to be an easy and comprehensive  guide to early childhood theories and approaches, an often complex topic  to understand and explore fully.

The book is divided  into two parts. The first provides a brief overview of the theorists  and approaches, both historical and modern, with explanations,  backgrounds, benefits, and criticisms where appropriate. It also defines  key terms used in theory and research alongside examples of how they  work in practice. Part 2 looks more broadly at how these theories and  approaches have been incorporated into settings and present-day  policies. The chapters also offer insights from practitioners on how the  theories are used successfully and how different countries and cultures  adopt and implement particular approaches.

This latest book in the Key Concepts in Early Childhood Series is essential reading for early years practitioners and students who  want to support their studies and deepen their understanding, as it  makes the pedagogical theories behind the early years curriculum and  framework easy to understand and apply.
