Doris Bergen,Lena Lee,Cynthia DiCarlo,Gail Burnett,Sandra J. Stone

Educational activities are described as they relate to physical, language, social, emotional, cognitive, and academic progress relevant to brain development at each age level.

The authors also discuss contemporary issues related to the future education of young children, including how technology-augmented experiences may positively and negatively affect children’s development.
