Early childhood education programs are expected to provide exemplary care for all children - poor and affluent, children of colour and White children - while also adapting care to include children’s families and cultures. These two sets of expectations are often difficult for teachers and programs to meet. In this book, Carollee Howes shows how high-quality programs successfully adapt child development guidelines within cultural contexts, and why quality needs to be and can be measured in culturally specific ways.
Carollee Howes is Professor in Psychological Studies in Education and Director of the Center for Improving Child Care Quality at the University of California at Los Angeles. She is the co-author of A Matter of Trust: Connecting Teachers and Learners in the Early Childhood Classroom.
