In light of such statistics, early childhood services for young children have expanded around the world. The SAGE Handbook of Early Childhood Policy draws critical attention to policy in Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC), its relationship to service provision, and its impact on the lives of children and families. The perspectives of leading academics and researchers from Europe, North America, South America, Africa, Australasia and Asia have been arranged around five key themes:
- Part 1: The Relationship Between Research, Policy And Practice: Country Case Studies
- Part 2: Equitable Early Childhood Services: Intervention to Improve Children's Life Chances
- Part 3: Extending Practice: The Role of Early Childhood Services In Family Support
- Part 4: Participation, Rights and Diversity
- Part 5: Future Directions for Early Childhood Policy
This handbook is essential reading for practitioners, stakeholders and others committed to working within early years services to achieve an awareness of policy and its implications for services and practice.
