This book is a significant and necessary read that provides future educators with foundational values, beliefs, themes, and histories that inform pedagogical practices and policies in the Canadian context. It makes visible the discourses embedded in different educational theories and how they produce particular knowledges and practices. It will support students in critically reflecting on their own pedagogical understandings by directing them to examine the historical and present-day thinking that informs current early childhood education."" - Kathleen Kummen, PhD, Chair, School of Education and Childhood Studies, Capilano University ""Far from being a dry look at history and philosophy, this book weaves together Indigenous and non-Indigenous, international and national, historical and contemporary, and traditional and reconceptualised influences on Canadian early childhood education to create a collection that contributes much to current understandings of the field. By looking forward as well as looking back, the chapters remind us of the ways in which past practices have influenced current endeavors. At the same time, they outline directions and identify challenges for future pathways in early childhood education."" - Sue Dockett, PhD, Emeritus Professor, Early Childhood Education, Charles Sturt University
