Abstract
ABSTRACT This article focuses on different rationalities of governing children in the context of different ECEC facilities, how the rationalities potentially influence the ways children are cared for and educated, and how this is related to the reproduction of social inequalities. Inspired by Foucault’s work on government, it focuses on the ways parents understand how their children should be formed by their ECEC facilities. Different parental rationalities of the government of their children in relation to different ECEC settings are found to potentially accelerate social inequalities. Based on the presented findings, the article calls for widening the discussion on high-quality care.
