A global tendency in early childhood education and care (ECEC) institutions, is the increased enrolment of children under three years of age. Recent research draw attention to the importance of high quality ECEC for the youngest children¿s wellbeing, relations, development and learning. High quality ECEC for children under three, depends on specific knowledge about pedagogy for this age group. However, quality and knowledge are not objective. They are deeply rooted in values and in societal and cultural conditions.
