Abstract/Notes: This thesis investigates historical backgrounds, philosophies, and practices of three well-established prekindergarten/early childhood programs--Montessori, Waldorf, and Head Start. Investigative methods included library and internet research, classroom observations, and interviews with program administrators, teachers, and parents. Findings showed good consistency between philosophies and practices, notable differences among programs, and certain pedagogical and theoretical issues unique to each. Data indicated that Montessori promotes children's natural development and self-teaching through sequential didactic materials presented in a prepared environment with a focus on sensory, motor, and intellectual experiences; Waldorf fosters children's creativity, imaginative play, and sensitivity to nature through songs, poems, verbally-told stories, and eurythmy (a dance-like art form); and Head Start provides comprehensive services to disadvantaged children and their families through planned educational experiences, health and nutrition services, family and community program involvement. Research was not directed toward establishing program effectiveness or determining which program demonstrated the best early childhood practices.
