KINDknow - Kindergarten Knowledge Centre for Systemic Research on Diversity and Sustainable Futures is a center for Early Childhood Education and for Kindergarten Leadership and knowledge creation in kindergartens. It is Financed by Research Council Norway (2018-2023).

KINDknow generates knowledge that is locally sensitive and internationally relevant. International comparative surveys combined with qualitative, close-to-practice research approaches provide overviews over the diversity of early childhood education and inspiring insights into local practices. The use of participatory and explorative designs aims to empower kindergarten teachers and children as actors in the field, enhance synergies between the academics, kindergartens and communities, but also reconstructing the multi-voiced, visual, multimodal and complex worlds of practice(s). Areas like play, learning, exploration, cultural formation, becoming and kindergarten quality and leadership are central.
