The Inclusive Early Childhood Educator arrives when research confirms the first five years shape lifelong development. Seasoned professionals Dr Jane Warren and Blake Stewart equip educators with practical strategies for creating genuinely inclusive environments.
Rather than offering simplistic checklists, the authors share evidence-based approaches that empower thoughtful, individualised responses to inclusion challenges. This book embraces the principle that every child deserves recognition while acknowledging the complexities in supporting children with disabilities, developmental delays and neurodivergence.
Providing concrete tools for professional growth, family partnership and diversity-rich environments, this indispensable resource serves both newcomers and experienced early childhood practitioners looking to elevate their inclusive practice.
