Comparative early childhood education services: international perspectives

This edited collection reconceptualizes the place of early childhood education within communities. Contributors present a shift in the lens of the teachers and management within early childhood services to incorporate new ways of working with, alongside, and in collaboration with family, whanau (a Maori term referring to an extended family), and the wider community. INDICE: Introduction; .J.Duncan .& .S.Te One. .Building Communities: Begins in the Early Years; .J.Duncan. .Working with Strengths: Building Resilience in Communities and Families; .R.Munford. .Families and Young Children in Arizona: Stories from a Contextualized Statewide Study; .B.Blue Swadener., .J.Joanou. & .D.Holiday. .Beyond Heteronormativity: Hospitality as Curriculum; .D.Lee..Integrated Services in Australia; .J.Sumsion., .F.Press.& .S.Wong. .Disturbing Cultures of Incarceration: Resilience, the Struggle for Normality and the Imprisoned Family; .R.Holmes, L.Jones. &.
