Designed for Administration, Supervision, and Management courses in early childhood education departments. This fourth edition of Administering Early Childhood Settings is designed to help students gain an understanding of what is often thought of as "the other part of early childhood education": administration, funding, government policy, and advocacy. Competent administration is crucial to creating quality environments that meet the needs of Canadian children, parents, staff, and communities. This book builds on practitioners' knowledge of early childhood philosophy and practice by providing an understanding of administrative practices, standards of professionalism, and the place of advocacy.
