Perspectives on Early Childhood Psychology and Education
See the Aims and Scope for a complete coverage of the journal.
Call for submission!
The journal welcomes submissions of manuscripts for general issues that focus on early childhood assessment, intervention, and prevention. Also, at present authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts for possible special articles, including manuscripts on the topics of early childhood neurodiversity and of play therapy from an assessment, parent empowerment or new developments in the field perspective. Experienced researchers in the fields of education, development, and psychology are welcome to submit proposals to serve as guest editors for special sections of the journal. In the coming months we will have announcements regarding applying to join the expanding editorial board, additional ways for early career scholars and graduate students to become involved with the journal, and a journal mission that more clearly centers equity, inclusion, diversity, and justice.
