Abstract

As increasing numbers of infants and toddlers attend formal early childhood education and care (ECEC) services there has been a commensurate growth in research concerning their experiences, and a growing interest in how we think about and enact their rights. This book draws together research and reflections from early childhood researchers and scholars from across the globe to consider the rights of infants and toddlers in early childhood programs. Commencing with a discussion of key developments leading to the adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989, this introductory chapter reminds us that the formalisation of children’s rights is interwoven with the emergence of international networks and the global flow of ideas. Following, the introduction provides an overview of the particular contributions of each chapter and commentary. The book’s chapters and commentaries arise from different national contexts and are informed by diverse theoretical and/or methodological paradigms. Nevertheless, they are unified by a common commitment to the actualisation of infant and toddler rights. Collectively, the book’s contents explore changing understandings and manifestations of infant and toddler rights in ECEC settings
