This booklet is part of a series of articles, reviews, and conference reports issued by Goldsmiths Association for Early Childhood (GAEC). This issue focuses on parents as partners from the point of view of parents, teachers, and childminders, discussing how the partnership between home and school continues to become a more equal one by cooperative contribution. The articles in this issue are: (1) "The Changing View of Home-School Partnership" (Sue Pidgeon), emphasizing the important role of parents in their children's education; (2) "Childminding--The State of Play" (Charles Rice), dealing with the definition and function of childminding in early childhood education; (3) "Reading and Writing in the Nursery and at Home," discussing parental involvement in a bilingual nursery in South West London; (4) "Children and Their Families," a collection of children's drawings; and (5) "Quality in Diversity," presenting a framework for early learning in England and Wales for children from birth to age 8. The GAEC 1994 conference report offers summaries of the keynote speech, two workshops, and seminars. Two book reviews, of "Read It Together" (Sue Pidgeon ) and "First Steps Together: Home School Early Literacy in European Context" (Hennette Dombey and Margaret Meek Spencer, Eds.), are included. (AP)
