Editor Sutterby (University of Texas-Brownsville) unites international contributors in education, psychology, and early childhood to examine aspects of early childhood education in eight different countries on four continents.

Some specific subjects explored include kindergarten curriculum reform in mainland China, Florida's statewide professional development initiative for pre-K teachers, a five-country European intervention program, and development and sustainability of high-quality early childhood education programs in Zambia.
