It argues that only a holistic understanding of each perspective will allow a clear future for early childhood education within Australia, and that all government parties should provide better outcomes around policy and provision to ensure the support and development of the sector.\n\nChapters offer insights into how children and families are positioned in educational reform by examining current government policy, as well as individual and collect.
