From the Publisher
“This book offers hope through its rich and abundant examples of teachers, parents, and others who care for young children mindfully taking the time to address issues of continuity in everyday life. Many of us will find ourselves, our commitments, and our dilemmas as caregivers, teachers, allies, advocates, and childhood studies researchers in this volume—I know that I did.”—From the Foreword by Beth Blue Swadener, professor and associate director, School of Social Transformation, Arizona State University
"The way the authors juxtapose and wonder about these diverse stories provides us with new inroads to reconceptualize the tangle of continuities and discontinuities in our own lives and in our early childhood work. After reading this book, it is not possible to think about these ideas simplistically again." —Virginia Casper, graduate faculty, Bank Street College of Education
"This examination of continuity/discontinuity gives voice to an important but often unexamined issue in early childhood education. By doing so, these authors provide guidance as to how early educators can support the growth and development of the children and families they work with, the programs they support and develop, and the field they envision all children participating in one day." —Christopher P. Brown, Early Childhood Program Area, Department of Curriculum and Instruction, The University of Texas at Austin
