The Guide to Early Learning South Central Indiana's Early Education Handbook
(from the introduction)
In recent years, doctors, scientists, and educators have all come to this common agreement: the early years of life are the most important time for developing healthy habits, healthy feelings about ourselves and others, and healthy thoughts about learning. Your child's early life experiences and interactions with others will greatly affect what kind of adult he or she becomes! If you tiptoe around your baby when he is asleep, he will probably be a light sleeper throughout his life. Likewise, a four year old who is told often that she is "stupid" will probably become a discouraged adult who is afraid to achieve. These early experiences and interactions will also influence your small child's readiness for elementary school.
The purpose of this book is to guide adults in the care and education of small children, birth to five years. The young children in your life may be your own, or ones for whom you care as a relative, friend, educator, or child care professional. The information in this book is based on the theories of Abraham Maslow, Erik Erikson, Jean Piaget, and Lev Vygotsky. Their research in early childhood development has shaped current, effective early childhood practices-practices that create empowered, healthy children who have a love of learning.
