Partnership With Parents in Early Childhood Today

Edited by:


April 2023 | 200 pages | Learning Matters
What is the role of early childhood practice in understanding the needs of parents and carers today?
This book:
*Considers the perspectives of those parents/carers marginalised by current practice
*Provokes thinking about how settings can become more inclusive in their practice
*Supports students to challenge their own assumptions about parents

Each chapter considers a group of families that may be marginalised in practice. The book suggests respectful, co-productive ways for students and early childhood practitioners, across the sectors, to work together. Each chapter asks current and future practitioners to reflect on and challenge their current practice.

With a keen focus on inclusivity, the book examines a variety of considerations including multilingualism, and diverse cultural and racial perspectives. It adeptly bridges the gap between theory and practice, enriched by the diverse viewpoints of contributing authors. This comprehensive exploration makes it an invaluable tool for a wide spectrum of early years students and practitioners.
