ABSTRACT
This figure is based on the work of Bronfenbrenner (2005) and Lumsden (2012). It illustrated how Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) policy is not linear, rather at every level it is impacted upon by time, the ‘Chronosystem’ and changes in international, national and local policies and political change, as well as how policy is implemented in different early years settings, the ‘Chaotic System’.
