Democratic Practice in Early Childhood Education: A World of Possibilities for the Young Child
Kahuroa, Raella
Early Childhood Folio, v25 n1 p9-13 2021
The enactment of everyday democratic practice in early childhood settings supports children to practise being active agents in their own lives. Through learning to take action on matters of importance, practising collaboration and listening, and seeing that their ideas matter and have significance, children are positioned to become engaged citizens. This article follows the work of four teachers at one centre, sharing four episodes of their teaching where democratic practice is evident.
