But how can professionals in early childhood education and care intentionally nurture this vital aspect of development?

Drawing on over 20 years of groundbreaking research, this comprehensive Framework equips educators and healthcare professionals with the tools to support children's spiritual development. Authored by leading experts in early childhood spirituality, this book bridges the gap between theory and practice, presenting evidence-based strategies to nurture spirituality in children aged 0-8.

Inside, you'll find:
