<br/><br/> Discusses the nature, quality and effects of the experiences of children before they acquire any formal schooling from various parts of the world. Each of the profiles presented reflects the effects of national policy on early childhood education and care. These provide background information on the country?s historical traditions, national attitudes, and political and economic situations. The book presents implementation data from families on their use and satisfaction with early childhood care and education services. This is assessed to demonstrate the effectiveness with which national policies have been translated into practice and their quality standards. Their effects are revealed through the description of the experiences by the children.
