Covers Birth to Age Eight. This new text provides a balance of theory and application to help novices and practicing early childhood professionals understand why and how to set up, arrange, and make changes to early childhood learning environments. Organized largely by chapters on learning centers (literacy, manipulative and sensory, science, mathematics, etc.), the text also covers foundational information such as the emotionally supportive and equitable environment, the role of the teacher, the importance of the environment, design principles, and health and safety. Coverage woven through every chapter includes material for all age groups in early childhood (infants and toddlers through 3rd grade), assessing the environment, meeting the needs of ALL learners, the teacher's role in facilitating learning in the various environments, and ways to address each curricular area outdoors.

It is designed for college courses taught at two and four year institutions that focus on quality early childhood learning environments and curriculum.

Product description

From the Back Cover

This is a must-have book for any college course or program that wants its teachers to know how to intentionally set up engaging and appropriately challenging early childhood learning environments and to understand the evidence and reasons for why they’re doing it. Covering each age group in early childhood--and enhanced by colorful, unique photos and the online MyEducationLab with videos, accompanying questions, and exercises to deepen understanding–- this text is a powerful resource for today’s early childhood professionals.

Organized by chapters on centers, this text helps pre-service and practicing teachers learn to create, maintain, and enrich indoor and outdoor learning environments to support children’s development from birth to age 8. A key part of each chapter is the teacher’s role in scaffolding learning in the center. The book covers foundational information to keep in mind in classroom practice--developmental and learning theories, current research, curriculum standards and outcomes, children’s interests and their motivation to play, children’s diversity, assessment of learning, and evaluation of the environment. It also contains a wealth of practical ideas and tips, lists of materials, and engaging vignettes and examples from the author’s vast classroom experience.

I purchased this text book in 2010 for my Early Childhood Education curriculum and practicum class. I usually rent my text books, but, because this was specific to my field, I decided to purchase it as a reference for later. I'm glad I did. I am now teaching a kindergarten readiness class and find myself referencing this text book often as I work to continually improve and keep interesting, the learning centers in my classroom, as well as to give ideas and suggestions to my co-workers. Even if you aren't taking a class that requires this as a text, I would say it is worth having in your teaching reference library.
