| Summary |
"People Under Three translates child development theory and research into everyday practice. Focusing on the group day care of very young children, it is designed specifically for those who look after them day by day, as well as policy-makers, administrators and the managers of childcare services. All the practical ideas in the book have been developed and tested in nurseries and family centres. They include detailed guidance on educational play for babies and toddlers and how to care for children's emotional needs. The book also explores the difficult area of child protection and working with parents and children with a variety of problems. People Under Three is an established text for all those training to work with young children or managing day care facilities."--BOOK JACKET |
