description

Conceptualizing Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) as a right for all young children has gained legitimacy in Spain in recent years (Ancheta, 2008). In 2005, the Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) stated that young children have specific needs for nurturing, care and guidance (CRC, 2005), and determined that early childhood education should be provided as the right of children to develop personalities, talents and mental and physical abilities from birth (United Nations General Assembly [UNGA], 2011).
