What is the best way to introduce a child to nursery school? What should his or her day be like? How should the space be structured? What should the relations with the family be like? What educational practices are most suitable for this early age? This books offers suggestions and materials on all these questions, but it is not simply an education manual. The author also analyzes the traditional nursery school educational approach presenting not only a new method, but also a new set of techniques. The main question is not how to educate children, but how to train educators. In this sense, what counts is the definition of educational goals (on which models and behaviors depend), the definition of competence as the capacity for adaptation and the practice of self-monitoring and research skills.
This book is not a simple manual, but also a chance to understand and re-think nursery school and to be educated about education.
