Abstract

Swedish municipalities are responsible for early childhood education and care (ECEC) programmes. There are several initiatives that can be categorised as assessments and interventions regarding socio emotional learning (SEL) ECEC in Sweden, stemming from different types of organisations. Below we will give a few examples of SEL in ECEC, but it should not be considered exhaustive in describing the subject.
