A useful reference-book combining theory and practice that serves as an introduction for pre-service early childhood educators and continues to prove useful for in-service practitioners. I often reference the Charlesworth and Lind's framework of naturalistic, informal and structured learning in reference to other areas of learning as it emphasises the agency of the child and role of the adult. Science process skills and the concepts that form the foundation for mathematics and science learning are discussed in detail.
