Introduction -- Aotearoa New Zealand Within Global Trends in ECEC Policy -- Traditions of Democracy in Education -- Weaving a Curriculum -- Assessment and Pedagogical Documentation -- Influencing Policy Change through Collective Action -- Policy Frameworks and Democratic Participation -- Conclusion.

Summary: "This book uses case studies of Aotearoa New Zealand policy formulation and practice to explore early childhood education and care (ECEC) as a site for democratic citizenship and social justice. Addressing fundamental questions about the purpose of education, it argues for explicit values focusing on children and childhood as a basis for ECEC policy to replace discourses of economic investment and child vulnerability that are dominant within policy goals in many countries."--Publisher's website.
