This volume is concerned with a growing interest from policy and research in the professionalisation of the early childhood workforce. Illustrated by in-depth case studies of innovative and sustainable pathways to professionalisation, it recognises the importance of a systemic approach to professionalisation across all levels of the early childhood. The authors share insights of professionalism from various European countries and suggest that professionalism in early childhood unfolds best in a 'competent system'.
