Nursery School Education, 1966-67The education of children in the pre-primary years is a crucial concern for public education. This report is the second in a series of three dealing with early childhood education, and deals only with nursery school programs in public schools. Owing to wide differences in the definitions of what nursery school education is, only general comparisons can be made. The resulting data are limited to status, major administrative plans, organization practices, and personnel provisions of nursery schools, not instructional programs in detail. |
