A Good Text Is Hard To Find

All About Early Care and Education is written by a handful of field experts in a clean and simple format. Make no mistake, the simplicity of this text has not sacrificed quality or content. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned professional, you will enjoy reading this text because of the practical approach to childcare. The black and white soft cover book is advertised as a self-study text and it would be nice to see a review section for each chapter, which this text does not have.

Fine, fine text for the associate arts student

I would recommend this book for use in a vocational school course or program directed at students seeking early childhood certificates or associate of arts degrees in early care and development. As the cover tells us, it covers all of the CDA (Child Development Associate) competencies. It's easy to read, yet covers theory and application with integrity. I would definitely get it!
