Absolutely wonderful!

The most comprehensive book for the early childhood teacher looking to set up a developmentally appropriate curriculum and environment. From child care programs needing to select an official "curriculum" to teachers reading for their own benefit, this book is a wealth of information. I love this book because it is easily readable, contains information for parents about what happens in the classroom, and allows teachers flexibility. The newest edition contains information on assessment, planning, and additional interest areas.

Creative Curriculum for Early Childhood

It's one of the most comprehensive books I've seen concerning the early childhood setting and it's learning centers. The Authors present a wide variety of learning center activities that meet the changing developmental needs of young children, focuses on open-ended materials and experiences so well suited to the interest and abilities of young children. This book is a valuable source of information that can fit into any style teaching!
