In 1988 Carol Hillman published, Teaching Four-Year-Olds: A Personal Journey. When we saw this book, we fell in love with it because it so beautifully talked about the lives of children and adults in early childhood programs. When Carol approached us two decades later to publish an updated version of this book, we jumped at the chance .... and today this book is ready for you to enjoy. To give you a flavor of the tone of the book, here is an excerpt from the first chapter, "The Hidden Curriculum"....
"When someone asks me what I do, and I answer that I am a teacher of four-year-olds. I sometimes get the response, 'What on earth can you teach them?' Many years ago, I would have answered by describing some of the science projects or the work with art materials, I did with children. Now it is different. I feel more secure in my own position. I tell them what I really do. I teach children about the world they live in, about themselves, and their peers. And I teach children about adults, trust, and love. I work with attitudes. I hope to inspire a love of learning. This is what I teach."
