Programming & Planning in Early Childhood Settings explores a range of approaches to curriculum and to documenting children’s learning, and is a valuable resource for early childhood education students and practitioners. This well-known text provides a broad view of the concepts and issues in ea rly childhood curriculum, reflecting ongoing discussions about what is meant by the terms ‘planning’ and ‘programming’ in the context of early childhood and what is authentic curriculum for young children.
