Save Our Kindergarten!, Thérèse Boisdon, Maria Poblete, Philippe Meirieu

All her life, Thérèse Boisdon has campaigned for the advancement of early childhood education. She organized training sessions and meetings, and traveled to the four corners of the world to inform all those who envy the renowned French nursery school system and only ask to imitate it. If today she has decided to take up the pen, it is to once again defend this school. Criticized by academics far removed from the field or by parliamentarians concerned with making savings. Threatened by a reform already tested in some places, which eliminates the reception of the youngest children and turns the final year of nursery school into a preparatory class for elementary school. Denied, to put it plainly, in its specificity. Nursery school is in danger! "Let's not be intimidated by the strong-willed individuals who settle scores with their childhood and with childhood on the backs of our children. Let's not allow ourselves to be held hostage by stubborn managers. Let's observe and listen to what is happening in nursery school. The future is at stake. What we hold most precious." : PREFACE BY PHILIPPE MEIRIEU
