Helen Moylett, Early Years Consultant and Writer, Vice President of Early Education, UKStarting From the Child has evolved and developed in the ever-changing landscape of Early Years Education since it was first published almost 30 years ago and this version is perhaps more important now than ever before. A must read for every Head, Curriculum lead, Adviser, Inspector and Early Years Educator.Ruth Swailes, Independent Education Consultant and Curriculum Developer, UKStarting from the Child? is now in its fifth edition and has undergone a substantial rewrite to address significant shifts in teaching in the early years of education. The book’s enduring appeal is its principled yet pragmatic approach to being an early childhood educator, and in this new edition the author does not shy away from addressing current sector concerns whilst holding firm to established early years principles and values.The book explores the challenges faced by early childhood educators in a climate of adult-insisted programmes, and questions whether it is possible to continue to put the child at the centre of all that we do. With her trademark passion, Julie Fisher argues that it is not only possible but essential, and offers strategies to do so in positive, enlightened and inspiring ways.Whilst maintaining the many strengths of previous editions, every chapter is fully up to date with current research and thinking about early years practice and pedagogy.
