Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
Learning through Play introduces students to the theory of play in the early years while seamlessly integrating curriculum, current trends and Australian government policy. It aims to create a shared understanding of play and play-based pedagogies that positively influence the everyday practices of educators and improve the learning experiences of children. The book extensively covers the various contexts that children, from birth to age 8, may engage with during the early years.
Structured to complement the Early Years Learning Framework and early childhood education studies, the text draws on theories to discuss the centrality of play to children's development and learning, then delves into the practicalities and challenges of implementing these play-based approaches, and finally discusses the future of play in early childhood contexts. With several learning features that blend theory, context and practical skills, Learning through Play will not only help pre-service teachers to understand play in principle and in practice, but also to advocate articulately for play-based approaches.
