It is based on the principle that the basic needs of all children are universal....It provides examples of and strategies for inclusion, a checklist for assessing a child care centre, and a discussion guide. These are useful for teaching students, organising in-service training, and highlighting the important roles of parents and care providers...." (pp.i-iii). Keywords: Child care, Inclusion
