Book Synopsis

We learn often in life, but only once as a child. This popular book will help future teachers make the most of this special time. Here is complete coverage of how children learn, what they can learn, and how to teach them. The focus is on creating a child-centered curriculum that addresses children's needs in all developmental areas—physical, social, emotional, creative, and cognitive. The authors provide a wealth of meaningful teaching strategies—accompanied by lesson plans, activities, recipes, and more—that will meet the needs and interests of children ages three to eight, all synchronized to these children's developmental skills and cognitive capabilities. For teachers and future teachers specializing in Early Childhood Education.
