Examine the evolution of developmentally appropriate practice with this biographical history of early childhood education. This book explores the theory's progression-from its beginnings in writings of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century philosophers, its experimental implementation by eighteenth- and nineteenth-century practitioners, and its scientific grounding in contemporary theory and research-and includes biographical sketches and perspectives of eleven philosophical, pedagogical, and theoretical figures-the giants-in this evolution.
