- Is it sufficient to intervene in young children's development at the local level without first addressing the structural inequalities, which shape development?
- How far can traditional child rearing practices be respected, while at the same time ensuring children's rights are protected?
- How can providers ensure that young children have opportunities to play, as well as work and study, even where local cultural norms do not view play as beneficial?
- What steps are required to protect children from harmful or exploitative work, while at the same time respecting the positive contribution that appropriate kinds of work can make to children's development?
- Is language of instruction recognized as a critical issue in shaping young children's transitions to school?
Children deserve to spend their days in well-designed environments that support their needs and stimulate their learning. Adults who spend their days teaching and caring for young children deserve environments that maximize their skills. Caring Spaces, Learning Places is a book of ideas, observations, problems, solutions, examples, resources, photographs, and poetry. Here you will find the best of current thinking about children's environments — 360 pages to challenge you, stimulate you, inspire you.
