This is the companion video to the bestselling book, Bambini: The Italian Approach to Infant/Toddler Care. The early childhood system of Pistoia, in Tuscany, is known for its high-quality and innovative services. This video uses the voices of parents, teachers, and administrators to go inside two inclusive infant-toddler centers; some preschool laboratories focusing on storytelling, oral literature, and the visual arts; a teacher workshop; and a preschool center that emphasizes books, imagination, and emerging literacy. All the centers for children under age six have continuity of care over two or more years, close relationships with families, and strong professional development for teachers. Including a helpful viewer's guide, this informative video shows physical environments, teachers' ideas about working with children across a range of abilities, and use of materials and community resources.For more information about this video's companion volume, or to purchase the book, click here. |
