Scientific Influences on Early Childhood Education offers a new framework for examining the diverse scientific perspectives that shape early childhood education.

As the field takes on an increasing role in addressing children's educational, developmental, and environmental needs, it is critical to more fully understand and appreciate the diverse scientific roots of contemporary early childhood education. This edited collection brings together leading researchers to explain and unpack perspectives that are not often associated with early childhood education, yet have made significant contributions to its development and evolution.

Essential reading for anyone working with young children, this critical and insightful text illuminates the connections between our social values, science, and research in the field.
