We are a active group focusing on researching leadership, organization and management education in the kindergarten sector, from diverse perspectives. There is a significant need for research on/with/about kindergarten management in the field, and it is our goal to be relevant in research outside kindergarten research. Research about the field is developing rapidly, which subsequently affects management. Management is a large and complex field of research, and it is important to us to participate in national and international research groups and discussions which impact the kindergarten field. Our group works to promote relevant, quality research together with, in and for the kindergarten field.
Participants in this group consists of academic staff at DMMH from different academic backgrounds and positions.
