Play, Learning and the Early Childhood Curriculum

The Third Edition of this popular book reflects contemporary research as well as thinking about the role and value of play in learning and development, within and beyond early childhood. The author explores recent developments across international contexts which endorse play, and argues for critical engagement with some aspects of policy discourse in how ‘educational play’ is constructed. This accessible book also reviews contemporary theoretical trends which focus on the meanings and intentions that children bring to their play.
