by Kathryn Peckham
Paperback / softback
Description
The preschool and reception years can be viewed as a stage of preparation for formal schooling.
But we must not lose sight of the profound impact this time of play and exploration has as children continue developing the core processes they will later rely on.
Nurturing Children through Preschool and Reception explores how a child’s mind and body develops during this critical and sensitive period and how the choices practitioners and parents make every day have a deep impact on these processes.
Underpinned by the latest research in the fields of child development, psychology, health and well-being, it explores the practices that can be embedded straight away to support children’s ongoing development and give them the best opportunities for future success. The book follows a holistic approach through the Nurturing Childhoods Pedagogical Framework and the ABCs of Developing Engagement, alongside methods to consider the impact of learning experiences, decoding children's evolving behaviours and strategies for their development.
