Reviewed by Linda Thornton, head of early years service in Cornwall
The Hundred Languages of Children Exhibition, which toured the UK during 2000, inspired many early years practitioners to discover more about the work of the infant-toddler centres and the pre-schools of Reggio Emilia in northern Italy.
This book is a compilation of the reflections of 13 participants, including early years educators, academics and parents, on a UK study tour to Reggio Emilia in April 1999.
It covers the key issues which face early years educators in the UK today - early years philosophy and pedagogy, the value of play, children with special needs, staff development and working with parents.
