Review: "This volume provides an analysis of early childhood care and education based on information obtained from studies in eleven countries. Researchers in each country collected information regarding a number of key points such as, what settings families choose for the care and education of their 4-year-old children, why families choose these particular settings, and what problems they encounter with the settings. In addition, data was gathered about the family background, for example, parental education and occupation. This volume will be of interest to early childhood researchers, professionals and policymakers concerned with family and educational issues."--BOOK JACKET.
