Praise for the 1st edition:
“A detailed report on the difficult area of children's cognitive development within an early childhood education program from 2–5 years, and a clear example of a high-quality program demonstrating what excellence can achieve.”

In this revised version of a classic text, Chris Athey builds on her original internationally renowned research with new illustrations of ‘continuity’ in children's thinking from early to primary education.

“Forms of thought” used by young children; Assimilation of curriculum content; Pedagogy; Parental participation
