Planning and using time in the foundation stage

This book is intended for all early years practitioners who feel rushed in their work with children.

It is also intended to help the children they work with, by giving them the time they need to communicate, interact, explore, grow and develop.

Exploring how the effective use of time can make a contribution to children's learning, the authors advocate the need for more: Time to learn; time to assess; time to work as a team; time to develop partnerships with parents; time to evaluate and make changes.

By unravelling the problems of time and the way that it is managed with young children, this book is compelling reading for all early years students and practitioners.
