The present study examined how in the context of the hybrid, privatized and marketized Dutch early education and care system (ECEC), childcare organizations respond to the public task of supporting inclusion and equity in an increasingly diverse society. Applying cluster analysis on the organizational characteristics of a nationally representative sample of 117 centers providing education and care for 0- to 4-year-old children, three types of organizations were identified that differed strongly on cultural inclusion and observed quality in the classroom. Socially engaged (for-profit and not-for-profit) professional organizations served proportionally more children from low-SES and immigrant families, provided higher quality to these children, and were culturally more inclusive than both market-orientated and traditional professional-bureaucratic organizations. The findings are discussed with regard to the question how hybrid ECEC systems can be governed to optimally serve the public goals of inclusion and equity.

荷兰混合幼儿教育和保育体系中的包容性实践以及教育和保育质量

本研究探讨了在混合、私有化和市场化的荷兰早期教育和保育系统(ECEC)的背景下,托儿组织如何应对在日益多元化的社会中支持包容和公平的公共任务。对 117 个为 0 至 4 岁儿童提供教育和护理的中心的全国代表性样本的组织特征进行聚类分析后,发现了三种类型的组织,它们在文化包容性和课堂观察质量方面存在很大差异。与市场导向型组织和传统专业官僚组织相比,社会参与型(营利性和非营利性)专业组织为更多来自低社会经济地位和移民家庭的儿童提供服务,为这些儿童提供更高的质量,并且在文化上更具包容性。讨论的结果涉及如何管理混合 ECEC 系统以最佳地服务于包容性和公平的公共目标。
