Introduction to Early Childhood Education
Welcome to the SAGE companion site for Introduction to Early Childhood Education, Ninth Edition!
Inspire your students to make a meaningful difference in the lives of young children and their families with Introduction to Early Childhood Education, Ninth Edition. This text provides current and future educators with a highly readable, comprehensive overview of the field so students understand the many components of high-quality early childhood programs. At its core, the book emphasizes the vital role of professional early childhood educators in connecting with young children and creating programs that foster their learning and development. Authors Melissa M. Burnham and Eva L. Essa offer valuable insight by strategically dividing the book into six sections that answer the “What, Who, Why, Where, and How” of early childhood education. Aligned with the latest NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) position statements, including the Professional Standards and Competencies for Early Childhood Educators, this supportive text provides students with the skills, theories, and practices needed to succeed and thrive as early childhood educators.
