Journal of Childhood, Education & Society (JCES) is an international double-blind peer-reviewed journal that accepts research and critical review articles and publishes three times per year open-access. JCES intends to provide a medium for sharing interdisciplinary research studies that focus on early childhood internationally, and the implications of this work for early childhood social and educational practices in collaboration with researchers, practitioners, and policymakers. In this way, this journal publishes both qualitative and quantitative research and critical review articles on early childhood from developmental, pedagogical, and sociological areas. Also, the research and review articles that link theory and practice, and produce informative resources for early childhood educators, practitioners, and policymakers are our current priority and are particularly welcome.

JCES accepts manuscripts only in English. Authors could use either British(-ise) or American spelling for their manuscript; however, one style should be used consistently throughout the manuscript.

JCES has been a member of PILA-Crossref (Publishers International Linking Association, Inc.  Crossref) since 2020 and is open access, a non-profit, independent academic journal.
