This research takes up the challenge of interpreting the two newest grounds of human rights protection across Canada – gender identity and gender expression – for professional practice in early childhood education. To date, no human rights tribunal ruling on these grounds has engaged early childhood education, and while the legal duty remains for early childhood educators to provide an environment free of gender-identity and gender-expression discrimination, the Ontario profession’s governing bodies have provided no explicit guidance as to how. This research bridges early years educators’ new and likely unfamiliar legal responsibilities in relation to both grounds and everyday life in early years contexts. The findings demonstrate that ample support exists within the profession’s key guiding documents for ‘gender-expansive’ practice, or an approach to teaching children and supporting their development that both expects and sustains gender diversity. A similar analysis of guiding documents is needed internationally.

Children in both groups were taught Mathematics according to Greek curriculum for early childhood education in conjunction with the use either of the same educational software, which depending on the group, were running on computers or on tablets. In order to evaluate the mathematical performance of children we used the Test of Early Mathematics Ability (TEMA-3). The sample consisted of 256 children in Greece. The results showed that, teaching with tablets comparatively to teaching with computers has contributed significantly to the development of children’s mathematical ability to a greater extent. Moreover, factors such as gender and age did not seem to differentiate the development of mathematical competence of children.</span></p>

The article presents a survey results on the awareness of early childhood education managers of supporting children in the transition period from home to kindergarten through questionnaire filled by 213 managers in some provinces and cities in Vietnam. The results showed that the managers were initially aware of the transition from home to kindergarten such as the time and way of transition. However, they concerned much more with the aspect of “ready schools” than “ready families” or “ready children”. Although managers were aware of the role of parents in the transition from home to kindergarten, the ways which parents supported their children were not considered. In addition, factors related to the children such as development levels and abilities were lacked of attention. Therefore, the school's transition support activities were not diversified, which didn’t pay much attention to the participation of families and children by their own. The results also affirmed that it has been many difficulties and barriers from families and communities in the transition period from home to kindergarten of children.
