About APJRECE

The Asia Pacific Journal of Research in Early Childhood Education (APJRECE) is an international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing rigorous, reflective, and socially responsive scholarship in early childhood education and care.

APJRECE is guided by a clear editorial philosophy: research in early childhood education should not only generate knowledge, but also contribute meaningfully to practice, policy, and the well-being of young children in diverse social and cultural contexts. The journal values scholarship that is theoretically grounded, methodologically sound, and attentive to the ethical and practical realities of early childhood education.

The journal publishes high-quality empirical studies, critical literature reviews, theoretical analyses, and research-informed practices focusing on the education and care of children from birth to eight years of age. While APJRECE places particular emphasis on research situated in the Asia-Pacific region, it actively encourages global perspectives and cross-cultural dialogue that enrich understanding across contexts.

As the official journal of the Pacific Early Childhood Education Research Association (PECERA), APJRECE serves as a platform for connecting research, practice, and policy. The journal embraces methodological diversity and interdisciplinary approaches, recognizing that contemporary challenges in early childhood education—such as equity, inclusion, sustainability, professional practice, and digital transformation—require nuanced and context-sensitive inquiry.

APJRECE is committed to fostering a scholarly community that is both critical and collegial. Through a constructive peer-review process and thoughtful editorial guidance, the journal supports both established and emerging researchers in contributing work that advances the field.

Published as an open access journal, APJRECE reflects a strong commitment to the public value of knowledge. By ensuring free and global access to high-quality research, the journal seeks to enhance the visibility, impact, and relevance of early childhood education research in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.
