On Knowing the Place: Reflections on Understanding Quality Child Care.
Pence, Alan R.
Canadian Journal of Research in Early Childhood Education, v7 n1 p71-80 Jun 1998
Reflects upon experiences with the First Nations' Partnerships and the European Commission Child Care Network to argue that efforts to understand quality care have been insufficiently sensitive to socioecological and cultural factors related to defining and assessing quality. Argues for a reconceptualization of early childhood care, and presents reactions of professionals, academics, First Nations communities, and Africa Institute participants. (Author/KB)
