What Is Early Childhood Education?
preface I became a teacher of young children many years ago, when the field of early childhood education was quite different from what it is today. After graduating from college with an English degree, I got a job as a preschool teacher in a child care center. I will never forget my first day of teaching. One reason I remember it so well is that it was so long! Feeling completely incompetent, I seriously thought about not going back the next day. Then I realized that although I had a choice not to return, the children did not. They deserved a better teacher than I was at that time. As a result, I continued teaching, went back to school, and set out to learn as much as possible about child development and how best to teach young children. And I have been learning ever since. Why I Wrote This Book When I first began teaching, I realized that were too many things I didn’t know about child development, how and what to teach, how to communicate with families, how to positively guide children’s behavior—the list goes on and on. I wrote this book because I wanted to help ensure that every child has a qualified teacher from day one. In this book I share what I have learned about the competence of young children, their desire to learn engaging, challenging curriculum content, and effective ways of teaching. To achieve their potential, children need and deserve highly competent, well-educated teach- ers. My hope is that teachers, whether beginning their professional journey or continuing their professional development, will embrace new knowledge as well as the enduring val- ues of early childhood education, and encounter the sheer joy of teaching young children. -

Mr. Ralph Wheelock, Puritan
MR. RALPH WHEELOCK PURITAN A PAPER READ BEFORE Connecticut Historical &ocietp NOVEMBER ?, 1899 BY REV. LEWIS W. ^ICKS, M. A. A Member of the Society and a Descendant of Mr. Wheelock WITH AN APPENDIX BY THOMAS S. WHEELOCK PUBLISHED BY REQUEST ^artforb The Case, Lockwood & Brainard Company 1899 PREFACE ;O giving my consent to the publication of the following paper, after its presentation before the Historical Society of Connec- ticut, I was influenced by a circle of Wheelock friends, to whom I was led to make known its contents several weeks before the public reading. But it seemed to me that the paper should not go out alone, inasmuch as Mr. Thomas S. Wheelock, who has spent much valuable time in tracing out the origin of the Wheelock family, had facts in his possession which cannot but be of special interest to the subscribers for this booklet. I therefore requested him to prepare the subjoined appendix, which will be found to contain impor- tant fundamental facts about the lineage and immediate descendants of our common ancestor that will enable present-day descendants, who may so desire, to make independent investiga- tions along the lines of their own particular de- scent. But in sending out this little production " we have had no idea of publishing a Wheelock in the common of the term Book," acceptation ; nor of making any pecuniary profit out of our iv Preface conjoint enterprise. Our chief object, (mine in permitting the paper to be published, and Mr. Wheelock's in adding his appendix,) is to lay before the descendants of Mr. -
