“…At present, early childhood inclusion is being implemented in preschools both in Sweden and elsewhere (Johanna, Mara, and Eva 2016;Lundqvist, Allodi Westling, and Siljehag 2016;Soukakou, Evangelou, and Holbrooke 2018), and there is a growing interest in research-based instruments and frameworks that can facilitate the planning, evaluation and development of high-quality early childhood inclusion in preschools (Lundqvist 2016;Soukakou, Evangelou, and Holbrooke 2018). One reason for this growing interest is that the quality of early childhood inclusion, as well as that of preschools, matters (Harms, Clifford, and Cryer 2005;Sammons 2010;Soukakou 2016;Taguma, Litjens, and Makowiecki 2013): The quality of a preschool, for example, is related to children's learning and developmental outcomes (Harms, Clifford, and Cryer 2005;Sammons 2010) as well as to other benefits such as a child's well-being, more equitable outcomes and a reduction in poverty (Taguma, Litjens, and Makowiecki 2013).…”
