Birth to Three Matters - Abbott, Lesley

. .

Résumé :
The quality of children's experiences, and the engagement of their parents, particularly in these early years, is critical to better outcomes that will impact on the child right into adolescence and adulthood. While we have done much to expand quantity, we also must keep working on quality. This book is a key tool for both practitioners delivering services and managers designing and commissioning them.
Naomi Eisenstadt, Director, Sure Start Unit, Department for Education and Skills
