Eight chapters of insights gleaned over a period of nearly 20 years of child care involvement, by inspirational teacher, researcher, environmental designer and director Jim Greenman.
A stimulating resource, especially for centre directors, to provoke thinking in new and different ways.
Topics include:
- Creating a wonderful place to be a child
- Organisational reality
- Living in a very real childcare world
- Places for childhoods include parents too.
'Jim has a way of putting things that is memorable—humourous, quirky, confronting sometimes, and sensible. … He cares passionately about the wellbeing of children and their caregivers, and yet is firmly grounded in the real world.'
—Associate Professor Anne Stonehouse, Monash University.
Each chapter is introduced by a reflection from a high-profile early childhood author and educator, including Paula Jorde Bloom, Lella Gandini, Diane Trister Dodge and Australia's Anne Stonehouse.
