Abstract: This document provides a comparative study of early childhood education and care (ECEC) national documents in China and Finland. It analyzes the key aspects and similarities and differences in the ECEC guidelines of both countries. The findings show that both China and Finland prioritize ECEC and emphasize principles that shape the learning environment and use diverse pedagogical methods. However, there are nuanced variations in their approaches, with China providing more specific guidelines tailored to different age groups and Finland offering general guidelines for all preschool age groups. The study has implications for policymakers, educators, and practitioners in international contexts. [Extracted from the article]
