As a new parent, many adults realize they know very little about the world of early childhood education. Picking the right daycare/preschool is a huge decision and it is hard to know what to look for.

This article gives three book recommendations from the New York Times. These books give background on the field, an understanding of child development, and information on how to find the right school for your child. These books stress the importance of observation, teacher to child relations, and social/emotional development rather than test scores, status, and aesthetics.

We hope you enjoy these recommendations!
