The author has made a career as a nursery teacher for nearly 40 years and practiced ECEC （Early Childhood Education and Care）. What is ECEC practice in the first place? In retrospect, ECEC practices include unexpected developments, encounters with people, feelings of joy in supporting human relations, and a sense of unexpected energy gushing out.
The purpose of this article is to explore how to draw such practices in real life. As a method, the author analyzed the change of practices in two ECEC settings in the 1990s. The following conclusions were reached : ① The change of ECEC practices is deeply influenced by historical and social changes. ② The relationship between practitioners and parents was changed from “facing each other” to “side-by-side.” ③ For practitioners, the relationships with children and with their parents are simultaneously changed and closely correlated.
