: In Denmark, Ph.D. candidates hold a position with a salary. Else-Marie Buch Leander’s current Ph.D. position is partially funded by “The BUPL Funds for Research.” BUPL is the Danish Union of Early Childhood and Youth Educators. The other part of Else-Marie Buch Leander’s Ph.D. position is financed by Aarhus University.
: We state that no children took part in the survey. We state that no participants were asked to give information about their name. All individual participants therefore were anonymous to the researchers as the survey was sent to the childcare institutions, and the participants answered the survey electronically at their institutions or at their homes. We only have information about the participating institutions, and this information stays strictly confidential and will never be disclosed to other than the researchers. In Denmark, a survey as here described does not require informed consent from the participants, nor does it require approval from an ethical committee. We therefore state that our study is in accordance with all national and international guidelines for research without personally identifiable information.
: We state that we honor the ethical responsibilities of authors in this article.
