From the Back Cover
The field of school-age care has rapidly expanded as both families and society recognize the importance of providing high-quality experiences during out-of-school time.
The authors ofAn Introduction to School-Age Care in Canada, second edition, believe children can work co-operatively with peers and educators when planning curriculum, allowing educators to develop programs with the children, rather than for the children.
The text uses a practical hands-on approach which provides the reader with general information on how school-age children develop and learn, and then goes on to focus on promoting social, emotional, physical, language and cognitive development in all school-age children.
