Looking for something new to read this Spring?
The Early Childhood Resource Library now has a copy of this powerful book Illuminating Care: The Pedagogy and Practice of Care in Early Childhood Communities by Carol Garboden Murray.
This book is an exploration of caregiving as a vital component of education and child development and a crucial building block of human community and society.
The author writes:
“As an early childhood teacher are you sometimes surprised by the amount of time you spend in caring rituals? Do you ever feel that the snack to prepare, the hands to wash, or the nose to wipe is getting in the way of teaching? What if we adopted a new way of thinking about care and incorporated it into the heart of our pedagogy? What would our practice look like if we lifted up the daily chores of caring as honorable rituals and essential educational practices?”
