Bambini: The Italian Approach to Infant/Toddler Care

Edited by: Lella Gandini, Carolyn Pope Edwards

The Reggio Emilia approach to infant/toddler care continues to be a model respected and studied by researchers around the world. This volume features the work of prominent scholars, policymakers, researchers, administrators, and practicing teachers who have created and directed the infant-toddler care systems in four Italian cities. Ron Lally, director of WestEd’s Child and Family Studies Program, contributes the opening chapter, describing how the United States can learn from the Italian experience. The collection is organized to investigate the politics and contexts of caregiving; to explore the particular child care programs in Reggio Emilia, Milan, Parma, and Pistoia; to describe in detail notable practices; and to present the reflections of participant-observers and research collaborators. Jerome Bruner calls this “a splendid book!” and “compulsory reading.”
