Implementation of local ECEC curricula at day-care centres and in family day care

The evaluation project examined how the processes of reforming the local curricula for early childhood education and care (ECEC) have been realised. The reform of the Act on Early Childhood Education and Care (540/2018) with regard to the child’s right to receive support immediately once the need for support has emerged, and the update of the National Core Curriculum for Early Childhood Education and Care (2022) as a result of the amendment to the Act impose new structures and objectives on ECEC activities. The evaluation provided information on how the introduction of local curricula has been realised after 1 August 2022. The project also described what factors promote or prevent the realisation of inclusive ECEC and the implementation of support for the child at day-care centres and in family day care. The evaluation was implemented between 2022 and 2023.
