Whole Child Ready: Advancing Critical Perspectives in Early Childhood Education.

We invite submissions that contribute to a critical dialogue about early childhood education, the meaning of kindergarten readiness, and the broader systems that influence young children’s success in school. Papers may include original research, literature reviews, policy analyses, and theoretical pieces that offer innovative perspectives on the intersection of family, community, culture, and policy in early childhood education. Please contact our co-guest editors Dr. Jill Walls (jkwalls2@bsu.edu) and Dr. Jiyeon Lee (jiyeon.lee@bsu.edu)

The journal welcomes submissions of manuscripts for general issues that focus on early childhood assessment, intervention, and prevention. At present, authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts on the following topics for possible special issues: early childhood neurodiversity, play therapy and playful classroom approaches, parent empowerment, or new developments in the early childhood field. Experienced researchers in the fields of education, development, and psychology are welcome to submit proposals to serve as guest editors for special issues of the journal.
