In a global context marked by deepening social, economic, and linguistic inequities, where processes such as neoliberal restructuring, migration, racialisation, and linguistic hierarchies continue to shape access to education, early childhood settings are increasingly recognised as critical sites where inequality is both reproduced and contested. These dynamics are particularly salient in early childhood education, where young learners’ identities and trajectories are already being shaped in ways that reflect broader structural asymmetries.
