• Sommario/riassunto: <span><span>For too long, early childhood education has been conceived of as simply "pre-school," rather than as a critical and foundational school experience. Weaving together research and rationale from a wide variety of disciplines, the authors build an airtight case for recognizing early education as the "real" schooling it is, and for investing in quality programming for all of our children. </span></span>
