ABSTRACT
This chapter examines preschool children’s views of the role of their educators in the daily life of preschool. It is based on two studies that depart from childhood studies. By exploring how children see their educators, their intentions, their duties and their roles, we attempt to understand the implicit and explicit values the educators communicate to the children. The methods used were participant observations, video recordings and interviews with the children based on their photos. The findings reveal intertwined themes that provided insight into the participating children’s perspectives on the roles of preschool educators and the values communicated in the preschools.
