520			_aThe sixth edition of Birth to Big School provides beginning educators with the core knowledge required to support the development and wellbeing of young children. It includes current knowledge of child development theory and how this theory is translated into practices that support children's learning. You will explore the role of play as learning and examine how play is embedded into planning programs for children. You will be introduced to daily routines - a key feature of all early childhood programs - and discover how these routines provide an authentic learning opportunity for young children. You will also explore the critical role of relationships between educators, children and families in the provision of quality education and care services. References to the National Quality Framework are woven throughout the text to assist you to understand the relationship between education and care practices and the regulatory environment. The final chapters of this book draw together child development knowledge and how it is applied to education and care practices in regulated children's services. Understanding the complex relationship between child development, play and learning, and applying this in order to support each child's development, represents an ongoing lifelong journey for early childhood educators, whose role is to support each and every young child to reach their full potential.
