Description
This stimulating book brings together contributions from distinguished practitioners who demonstrate how they have used educational methods advocated by Froebel in contemporary settings. It explores the importance of outdoor play and the Froebelian principles of learning through firsthand experience, parent partnership, and community.
The book highlights the value of play in early childhood education, contrasting the Froebel approach with other methods such as Montessori, Steiner, and post-Modern 'playfulness'. It is relevant to students studying Early Childhood Education, including those following QTS and EYPS courses.
