Hailed by renowned educator Deborah Meier as 'a rare and special pleasure to read,' Kindergarten explores a year in the life of a kindergarten classroom through the eyes of the gifted veteran teacher and author Julie Diamond. In this lyrical, beautifully written first-person account, Diamond explains the logic behind the routines and rituals children need to thrive. She guides through all aspects of classroom life, the organisation, curriculum and relationships that create a unique class environment to understand what early learning can and should be.
