Early years / Education Book Young children in charge a small Italian community with big ideas for children A Children in Scotland best-seller. A DVD is now available to help share the ideas in this book more widely with staff. See ‘related publications’ in the right-hand column to purchase the DVD separately or the DVD and book set. A striking picture of how powerful values and local authority commitment have driven delivery of early childhood services in a small north Italian community. San Miniato’s approach to the early years stands out because of: Its strong belief that very young children are highly competent individuals The high value given to family participation The striking impact of the above on day-to-day practice in early years settings. Based on a 2008 study visit, this book provides a unique and fascinating insight into day-to-day practice in early years settings in the Tuscan town of San Miniato, where powerful values such as a belief in the competence of the child and the centrality of family participation drive every aspect of service delivery for the under threes. It offers a striking picture of how these bold values, which go beyond 0-2 and can be applied to all learning, are translated into practice.
