This book has shown me how to work with children at different ages and provided me with the knowledge I will need for my future classroom. I really liked the chapters that were focused on the subject areas and the ideas that were provided in those areas.

I used this book for my Curriculum and Instruction class at college. I learned so much by this book and definitely will continue to use it for my other classes. This book is designed to learn about the preschoolers for students who are majoring in Early Childhood Education.
