Abstract
This study analyzed a transition process from home to childcare, called “inskolning” in Swedish, by conducting a field survey in Sweden, where a one-year-old child can enter a preschool as a start of lifelong education. The survey revealed that it is a common practice for a family to support their children to adapt to gradual transition from home life to preschool life. In addition, “inskolning” not only aims at helping children get used to preschool, but also encourages preschool teachers to engage in nursing care and education work based on a child-centered concept because respecting human rights and democracy is widespread in Sweden.
