Description: "This book serves as a guide to both social work professionals and social work students interested in early childhood education and care (from birth to Kindergarten). It aims to offer important background to those interested but also inspire them to become involved in this field of practice. In addition, it elucidates the special skills that social workers bring to this field. The social work profession is uniquely poised to make important contributions, particularly given the role of social work in the history of early childhood education and care and our commitment to social justice"--Provided by publisher.
