A History of Infant Pedagogy in Europe from the Fourteenth to the Early Twentieth Century

This article outlines a history of infant pedagogy in Europe from the fourteenth to the early twentieth century. By offering new readings of significant pedagogical works written in these centuries, the essay highlights the link between the historical genesis and the morphologic manifestation of educational processes in each individual’s experience. This paper is a first attempt at deepening our understanding of this issue and contributing to the education of both parents and educators involved in Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC).
