importance of investing in early childhood development and
increasingly monitor that investment using standardized measurement,
the nature and rationale of early childhood education and care (ECEC)
provision remain diverse. In the context of that disparity, this article
explores an aspect of ECEC provision that is commonly recognized for
its potential to enhance young children’s development and learning, yet
for which characteristics remain variable: partnerships between ECEC
practitioners and parents. The article reports and discusses results from
a cross-cultural narrative study that investigated the nature of such
partnerships in three different countries: England, Hungary and
Kazakhstan. During focus group interviews, ECEC academics (n = 16)
discussed five themes that emerged from literature reviews. Findings
indicate more differences than similarities between the countries’
narratives concerning ECEC parent-practitioner partnerships, suggesting
such partnerships may be an aspect of ECEC provision for which a
homogeneous approach and quality measure across countries are not
feasible.
