5.0 out of 5 stars
Very helpful for practitioners in Eary Years,
By A Customer
This review is from: Outdoor Play in the Early Years: Management and Innovation (Paperback)
This book is "a must read book" for any practitioners in early years education. This book explains why outdoor play is crucial for children from different aspects. It is very helpful for practitioners in the early years education as it shows how we could improve outdoor areas and make it more attractive for children. Also it covers the history of the nursery education (very interesting facts are mentioned) and how the importance of outdoor play was moved away from the education. There are many difficulties in this area but this book certainly explains and shows how we can over come these problems. Very good and easy to read as well. I highly recommend this book to people who are interested in the education.
