Now in it's third edition, The Early Childhood Curriculum demonstrates how to confidently teach using inquiry-based methods that address the whole child, while also meeting and exceeding academic standards.

Offering a foundation in early childhood theory, philosophy, research, and development, this beloved text helps future teachers, as well as current educators, understand the "why" of curriculum in early childhood and invests them with the skills they need to move from simply following a script to knowledgeably creating curricula on their own. This edition offers an increased focus on early language learners and students with disabilities, as well as revised technology sections to fully reflect the 21st century classroom. Each of the separate curricular subject chapters reflects the most recent updates to national curriculum standards, grounding the reader in the essentials of the subject in order to foster knowledgeable and effective integration. Coupled with this are new To Observe sections to highlight important skills for educators, along with Helpful Tips offering quick, practical teaching suggestions for meeting standards while still providing young learners with a truly child-centered educational experience.

The entire text reflects the philosophy that the use of inquiry to seek and obtain information is one of the most valuable and powerful tools children can acquire along the way to becoming lifelong learners.

Industry Reviews

"This textbook provides an engaging blend of professional wisdom and practical application, set firmly in an historical context that traces the evolution of ECE curriculum content and methods. Current literature and research support integrative curriculum approaches, and students will enjoy each chapter's explicit goals, illustrative vignettes, and relevant opportunities for reflection."

Kris Slentz, PhD, Professor Emerita, Early Childhood Special Education

"The Early Childhood Curriculum honors inquiry learning at its best. I'm especially pleased with the focus on outdoor learning, building on children's natural curiosity, and integration of academic subjects. The book is fascinating to read and equally inspiring for a beginning teacher or a veteran teacher."
