Special Issue on Early Childhood Education and Care

Early childhood is the rapid period of development in a human life. Although individual children develop at their own pace, all children progress through an identifiable sequence of physical, cognitive, and emotional growth and change. The early childhood education and care approach is based on the proven fact that young children respond best when caregivers use specific techniques designed to improve young children’s capacity to develop and learn.

For this special issue, we invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles exploring the various elements of early childhood education and care. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Early childhood education
• Infant care and education
• Preschool education
• Cognitive development
• Early child development
• Child care
• Parent care
• Day care
• Challenges for early childhood education

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Early Childhood Education and Care” should be selected during your submission.
