      abstract = {This book has been designed to add to the study and  experience of early childhood ideas and experience in an  international context. The focus is Australia and China  with three research projects explored to provide insights  into the history and development of early childhood  education in each country. The work offers a consideration  of the complexity of early childhood education in local and  global contexts, at a time when global relationships can  benefit from moving beyond better cultural understandings  to greater connections and reciprocity. Each study has  accompanying empirical data to support the interpretations  offered. The first part of the book presents historical  context and examines policy issues, the growth of the early  childhood education workforce and the development of  curriculum approaches in each country. The two projects  that follow describe teachers' perspectives of children's  learning and an in-depth study of a collaborative higher  education program that details stakeholder experiences. By  studying participant attitudes and ideas in each country we  have been able to share early childhood knowledge and  discuss perspectives through early childhood languages,  like perspectives on the role, importance and nature of  play and learning.},
