This
book's contributors ask what the optimum level for young children's
learning is. They seek to find how children cope with transition
from home to the first settings of their education and whether
there are ways is which professionals can better support and
empower children in transition. How do the experiences young
children have of attending different places of leaning affect
their capacity to learn? Educators and policy makers must
pay close attention to young children's ever-evolving learning
experiences. Transitions in the Early Years assists the reader
in this task and provides further observation and analysis
for all those interested in this growing area of concern.
