By exploring the key issues, arguments and messages that exist in the field this book provides an international, comparative look at aspects of early childhood education and care. Pedagogical practices, learning cultures and the professional development of practitioners are considered within the wider political agenda of different countries.

With expert contributors drawn from across the world, this book is vital reading for all those studying comparative education on early years courses.
