Outstanding Review of Early Childhood Learning EnvironmentsBy David HutchisonThis book is an absolute delight to read and a must have for all those who are interested in the experience of place in schools. Early childhood learning environments are perhaps the most fascinating learning spaces to study because they are tied so closely to competing philosophical and developmental views on how young children learn and grow. The history; analysis; and photos in this book complement each other wonderfully.- David Hutchison; author of "A Natural History of Place in Education"8 of 11 people found the following review helpful. Nothing interestingBy WaikaThis book only shows some rare centers in Europe. Nothing special. Maybe is worth for a collector of architectural books...If you are intrested in designing a Child Care Center this book wont bring you new ideas. Will be useless.I returned mine.
