Early Childhood Theories Today
If you work in the early years, you have probably heard of Montessori and Bronfenbrenner - but have you heard of Bavolek or Fisher? Contemporary theorists and theories of early childhood learning have much to teach us. It is often forgotten that this learning is still evolving and that new voices are joining the discussion every year.
This book introduces early years practitioners to some contemporary theorists and explores their work alongside more well-known thinkers. It demonstrates how these theories relate to everyday practice in the early years and that discussion of them can support ongoing professional learning.

Great synopsis of the prevalent early childhood theories that are relevant to child development. Amazing to see the similarities between many of the theories covered (child-centered, play-based). My favorite was Bourdieu (cultural capital) and Froebel (open-ended play). A must read for all early years practitioners with some very useful reflective practice exercises.
