This collection is comprised of short memos (offering practical suggestions and ideas for teachers and parents of young children) and resource lists on various early childhood topics, prepared by the staff of the ERIC Clearinghouse on Early Childhood Education during 1978. Memos focus on parent involvement ideas for day care centers, the learning potential of water play for preschoolers, sex role development in young children, and family day care. Resource lists deal with the following topics: early childhood (including ideas for classroom materials and activities, day care administration, and childrearing); screening, readiness and diagnostic programs in early childhood; sex role development in young children; child advocacy and children's rights; parent-teacher relationships; general studies on child development and related topics; young children and the arts; bilingual education (primarily Spanish-English) in early childhood, and adoption. Order information is provided for all ERIC documents and other publications included in the resource lists. (CM)
