Early Childhood Pedagogy: Nurturing Thinking, Inquiry, and Wonderment

Beverlie Dietze & Bora Kim

A Web of Possibilities

Interconnected, resilient, and ever-evolving—that's the beauty and complexity of early learning. Like a spider web, children’s development is shaped by family, culture, community, and play.

What Makes This Text Stand Out?

  • Wholistic & Inclusive: Honours the whole child—spiritually, emotionally, socially, and culturally.
  • Grounded & Global: Blends Indigenous knowledge, Canadian context, and global perspectives.
  • Practical & Reflective: Offers real-world strategies, reflective prompts, and inspiring scenarios.
  • Collaborative & Curious: Centres community voices and encourages ongoing inquiry and wonderment.

This is more than a textbook—it’s a call to reimagine early childhood pedagogy with curiosity, courage, and care.
