Summary:
"This revised and expanded book is a guide to providing high-quality care for infants and toddlers in early childhood settings. It describes HighScope's active learning approach for very young children who are in the sensory-motor stage of development - the stage when children learn with their whole body and all their senses, and when they rely on trusted adults to support their learning adventures."--Jacket.
