Description

This Routledge book challenges conventional assumptions about how early childhood education should prepare children for compulsory schooling. Rather than accepting the traditional 'readying for school' model as inevitable, the text explores alternative relationships between early childhood and formal education. With most children in affluent countries now spending several years in pre-school before entering compulsory education, understanding how these two educational phases can learn from and strengthen one another has become essential. The book contests taken-for-granted perspectives and invites educators, researchers and policy makers to reconsider what early childhood education and care can contribute beyond mere preparation for school entry. Part of the Contesting Early Childhood series, it offers a critical examination of educational transitions and the deeper questions about curriculum, learning and child development that emerge when we step beyond conventional frameworks.
