Early Childhood Curriculum in Times of Crisis
Abstract
In this opening commentary, the editors of this special issue introduce the eight articles of this special issue entitled, Early Childhood Curriculum in Times of Crisis. Kessler and Castner focus on early childhood curriculum theory and practice. They argue that critically understanding the cultural, political, and historical context of early childhood curriculum is imperative for the apprehending many of the challenges educators of young children have faced in the past. Then, they suggest the contributions of the eight articles that will follow implicitly or explicitly present alternative curricular visions. These alternative curricular visions are vital affirmations of early childhood education amid the multi-faceted crises that characterize the contemporary moment.
