This is a bird's-eye look at how education into early childhood varies across the world, from the authors of the study Two-Year- Olds in England. The structure of the different workforces and the different philosophical traditions associated with each, as well as the political influences involved, are charted. The thinking of key theorists on how to educate children, from Rousseau to Piaget, are outlined, while the unique aspects of the early years workforce in each country are highlighted.
