Reviews

'There are examples from infant- toddler centres and preschools in Reggio Emilia; key points that highlight ideas that practitioners should consider when reviewing and reflecting on their practice; and reflections that can be used as the basis for continuing professional development and action research. This book is ideal for all early years educators, managers, students, practitioners, lecturers and advisory teachers.'- Martine Horvarth, EYE Magazine
