Abstract	This guide is for teachers and administrators involved in the preparation and implementation of kindergarten programs. Part I, in a series of captioned photographs, reviews basic qualities and needs of young children. Part II examines historical events important in the development of early childhood education, and describes several educational approaches to kindergarten, including traditional, Montessori, Head Start, Bereiter-Engelmann, and motor-sensory. Development of a eclectic approach is recommended to serve the needs of young children. Part III discusses the major goals of the eclectic approach, which are: (1) development of a healthy self-concept, (2) expansion of the natural learning drives of children, (3) the fostering of positive feelings and attitudes about learning. Specific areas of curriculum are considered. Part IV surveys areas requiring detailed planning, including first days of school, physical arrangement of the classroom, parent contributions, children with special needs, and scheduling issues. The role of the administrator is considered in Part V, with respect to specific responsibilities, decisions, and teacher expectations. Part VI reviews theoretical concepts of child development and early education in general. Appendixes listing professional books, sources, and films as well as children's books are included. (DP)
