Product Information
For Introduction to Early Childhood courses. The broad, comprehensive coverage in this market-leading text is now more visually engaging and useful than ever. Written by one of the best-known authors in the field, this is the only book of its kind to provide chapters on child care and federal legislation while also offering foundational chapters and developmental chapters on infants through eight-year-olds. The content is reinforced with a new DVD that allows students the opportunity to 'see' what they are learning about - not just read the content - using integrated margin notes. Eight videos illustrate key settings and approaches, in diverse environments. For a preview of the Reggio Emilia clip, please visit www.prenhall.com/merrillmedia. Now with a focus on how-to strategies and guidelines, the result is a much more applied book. Students are provided with the tools and resources they need to become competent and confident early childhood professionals, and this book and dvd will be a valued resource as they begin their careers.
