Hess, Robert D.; Croft, Doreen J.

Chapters cover: (1) early education as a career; (2) schools and systems of early education; (3) school and family: partners or competitors?; (4) social opportunity and educational achievement; (5) programs are tools, not religions--varieties of programs and approaches; (6) growth of language and cognitive abilities; (7) social concepts and behavior; (8) the versatility of the arts in a preschool program; (9) crisis in the preschool--coping with emergencies; and (10) the challenge of evaluation. References are provided for each chapter. (Author/KM)
