Developmental Profiles: Pre-birth Through Twelve - Tapa blanda

My overall impression to this book is that it will serve a great need in Early Childhood Education. In addition to it being good childcare practice, producing written documents with accurate observations is especially important for some grant-funded childcare programs and this book makes that process for the childcare provider easier and more understandable.
