Re-situating Canadian Early Childhood Education

«This is an important book for Canadian early childhood education. Some may find it disruptive, but that is in part its purpose – to question and to pose alternative discourses that open up to other ways of seeing and understanding. Such other ways are essential in a society as diverse as Canada. With this volume Canada joins a stimulating international community of scholars and early childhood educators who seek new insights and perspectives to guide the future of ECE in their own countries and internationally.» (Alan Pence, Professor, University of Victoria, Canada)
«This edited collection is a must for international audiences of scholars, researchers, teachers, and educators. While the contributions are set within the Canadian landscape, the issues, dilemmas, tensions, provocations, and challenges are those facing all Western societies at this time. Robustly based on research and postfoundational theories, each chapter provides offerings for rethinking and reformulating early childhood education, family and child interactions, and the work of all those in early years education and social services.» (Judith Duncan, Associate Professor of Education, University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand)
