Download or read book Parents and Playgroups written by Pre-school Playgroups Association and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-11-21 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1981 to mark the twentieth anniversary of the birth of the Pre-school Playgroups Association, Parents and Playgroups brings together three wide-ranging reports which examine the role of the playgroup movement, its underlying philosophy and the contribution made by both playgroups and Mother and Toddler groups to the lives of thousands of mothers and children throughout Britain at the time. Formed following a letter to the Guardian in 1961, the PPA together with its sister organization the Scottish PPA had a membership of approaching 16,000 playgroups, serving nearly half a million children. Yet there had been very little research into the workings of the movement until 1975, when Barclays Bank funded a major research project which resulted in the three reports Parental Involvement in Playgroups, Mother and Toddler Groups and Patterns of Oversight published in this volume. The many questions explored and debated include: How should the playgroup movement develop in the 1980s and after? What do parents contribute to playgroups – and what do playgroups and Mother and Toddler groups offer in return? Should Social Service Departments take over the running of playgroups and Mother and Toddler groups? Do local authorities give playgroups enough support? Or does statutory ‘oversight’ inhibit flexibility and imaginative development? Are playgroups and Mother and Toddler groups too middle-class oriented – and do they work equally well in different kinds of neighbourhood? How do playgroups compare with nursery schools? As Lady Plowden writes in her Foreword, ‘the three studies will serve as an introduction to the developed thinking of the association, and point to further areas of research. They describe something increasingly vital in our present society, which is so often rootless and purposeless, as the group studying parental involvement says "one of the greatest strengths of the playgroup movement is that overall it is a positive force in a largely negative society."’ In the words of Max Patterson, President of the Scottish PPA: ‘This is a valuable set of studies... There is a challenge in the material to those with power to effect change. The experience and hard-earned knowledge of the Playgroups Association raises important questions for all whose interest is family and pre-school child.’

Book Synopsis Insights from the Playgroup Movement by : Ann Henderson
Download or read book Insights from the Playgroup Movement written by Ann Henderson and published by Trentham Books Limited. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pre-school Playgroups Association in the UK tapped powerful reserves of learning potential in children but also in adults, families and whole communities. It generated an explosion of lateral thinking and innovative social development that reverberates to this day. And then it broke up. This book, written by people who were part of the organization, looks at the nature of its success but also turns an analytical eye on the reasons for its premature end. At a time when governments are looking to encourage volunteering, there are lessons here that need to be learned--not just about early years work but about the needs and development of social organizations such as PPA. The writers offer warnings as well as praise for voluntary organizations and for the bodies--including governments--that aim to support them. This makes the book of interest not just to those concerned with children's early lives and education, including parents, but also to readers concerned with the involvement of adults in their own learning and to all those committed to development of a democratic society and a positive balance of power and responsibility within its organizations.

Book Synopsis Working Together For Young Children by : Tricia David
Download or read book Working Together For Young Children written by Tricia David and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-23 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With 1994 designated the United Nations Year of the Family, young children and their relationship with parents and carers is firmly back on the political agenda. Amongst recent legislation to meet this agenda in Britain is the Children Act 1989. The Act seeks to improve the position and perception of children in society, by stressing the rights of children and the responsibilities that parents and the caring professions have towards them. Working Together For Young Children addresses the central issues facing young children and their families in the light of this new social and political climate. The contributors - experienced in the fields of health, education, social and voluntary services - provide information, research evidence and ideas about practice in the light of recent legislative reform. Emphasising the need for continuity, comprehensiveness and collaboration at all levels of care provision, different chapters explore the services directed at children `in need' as well as children in general.

Book Synopsis Understanding Special Educational Needs and Disability in the Early Years by : Janice Wearmouth
Download or read book Understanding Special Educational Needs and Disability in the Early Years written by Janice Wearmouth and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This key text provides essential tools for understanding legislation, policy, provision and practice for children in the early years, particularly young children with special educational needs and disability (SEND). Based on extensive research and the four areas of need as defined in the Special Educational Needs and Disability Code of Practice: 0 to 25 Years (DfE, 2015), the book charts the development of young children and their growing constructions of learning, communication, language, motor movement and emotion. Providing material that translates into practice in a straightforward and practical way, this text is packed full of personal accounts and case studies, enabling readers to appreciate what the experience of SEND in the early years means for families and professionals, and also to learn more about how they might understand and respond appropriately to a child’s needs. Understanding Special Educational Needs and Disability in the Early Years will be of interest to students studying Early Years courses, families, SENDCOs, teachers and other staff supporting young children with a range of special educational needs and disabilities.
Book Synopsis Pre–school childcare in England, 1939–2010 by : Angela Davis
Download or read book Pre–school childcare in England, 1939–2010 written by Angela Davis and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2024-07-30 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pre-school childcare in England, 1939–2010 investigates how competing ideas about child development influenced the provision, practice and experience of childcare for the under fives since 1939. It explores how theories which developed during the war about the psychological harm caused by separating an infant from its mother influenced the organisation of childcare outside the family in light of the social, economic and demographic changes seen during the years that followed. Focusing on four different forms of childcare – day nurseries, nursery schools and classes, playgroups, and childminders – it considers how both individual families and wider society managed the care of young children in the context of dramatic increases in the employment of married women. Using a new body of oral history interviews specifically undertaken for the book, it also examines the experiences and effects of care on those involved and the current policy implications raised.
Download or read book Feminist Lives written by Lynn Abrams and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-10-03 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Could women be feminist without feminism? Could they foster feminist activism without a movement or an ideology? Could they recraft ways of being female without a plan? Feminist Lives adopts a woman-centred approach to explore these questions and to understand how British women charted a new way of being female in the three decades before the Women's Liberation Movement. By focusing on the 'transition' generation of women who were born in the long 1940s and who grew to maturity in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, the book demonstrates that it was they who developed the aspirational model of womanhood that then emerged after 1970 as the norm amongst women in the global north. In doing so, Feminist Lives seeks to fill 'the feminist history gap', countering a narrative that has for too long neglected this generation of women as fusty and failing, and as just not feminist enough. Using women's voices as the book's evidential and emotional core as they describe themselves, their relationships, their feelings and actions, this volume analyses the modes by which women constructed a modern self, built upon new ways of living, feeling, and being.
