Peer Review Statement

Monash University is committed to publishing high-quality open textbooks that meet the needs of students and educators.  This book has been peer-reviewed by two subject experts from two higher education institutions. Each chapter received a double-blind review from academics with specialist knowledge and experience in early childhood education pedagogy.

Reviews were structured around considerations of the intended audience of the book and examined the comprehensiveness, accuracy, and relevance of the content. Reviews were also focused on relevance longevity, clarity, consistency, organization structure flow, grammatical errors, and cultural relevance.

The authors and the publication team would like to thank the reviewers for the time, care, and commitment they contributed to the project. We recognise that peer reviewing is a generous act of service on their part. This book would not be the robust, valuable resource that it is were it not for their feedback and input.
