In the field of early childhood education, diversity and difference (DD) in children’s learning is continuously discussed for the reason that various and constantly changing contexts and experiences shape what and how they learn. These discussions are especially important in the current situation of Covid-19. Many unprecedented experiences and events occurred, raising an urgent need for the DD field to review the scholarship contributions that have been made to children’s learning and work out directions for future research. This bibliometric analysis examined the DD research in early childhood education through a systematic review of the articles published between 1968 and 2019. The analysis identified the dynamic of the research development and suggested opportunities for future studies.
