How can early childhood educators navigate the evolving challenges of care and education in today's world?

The early years, from birth to age 8, are the most critical period for building a person's lifelong health, learning, and behavior. In this fully revised second edition of The Early Years Matter, consultants Marilou Hyson and Heather Tomlinson provide an evidence-based, optimistic road map for navigating the complexities of modern early childhood care and education. This book summarizes up-to-date research on the value of high-quality services for young children and families, offering practical tools for reflection, dialogue, and action.

As the field faces seismic shifts, this new edition addresses the long-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the role of childhood anxiety and trauma, immigrant children's safety and security, and the importance of equity in all areas of child and family life.
