Early years’ pedagogy

The importance of education in a child’s early years has long been identified by
researchers as significant not only to a child’s disposition to learning, but also to future academic success, workplace achievement and many other aspects of a healthy, fulfilling life (e.g., Canadian Council on Learning, 2007).  Charles Pascal in his report, With Our Best Future in Mind: Implementing Early Learning in Ontario,  writes “that while effective early learning programs are very crucial for some, they benefit all” (Pascal, 2009, p. 11).
