Summary:
"This book is an invaluable tool for the director/supervisor striving to identify what aspects of an early childhood program need improvement; it gives staff, teachers, and caregivers feedback that really alters their practice. Used in college courses, the book's detailed descriptions of what one should see in good programs (and why) give students a strong foundation of child development knowledge and of principles translated into practice" --Provided by publisher.
