Children’s autonomy is a cultural ideal in Finnish early childhood education
and care (ECEC). In this article we examine autonomy in spatial terms. The
theoretical background is developed by applying spatial sociology. Our starting point
is that space is relationally produced, thus, we understand space as continuously
negotiated, reconstructed and reorganized phenomena. In this article, we investigate
the production of space by different actors in ECEC and seek to show how autonomy
is also continuously produced and re-produced in the negotiation of space. For this
investigation we use data collected as part of a team ethnographic project in a Finnish
kindergarten. The project included conducting observations and interviews with
parents and educators. Our research shows that autonomy is developed in multiple
ways in kindergarten spaces. Educators as well as children and parents continuously
produce and reproduce the kindergarten space within which children’s autonomy
variously unfolds as linked to independence, freedom and responsibility in
the cultural and ideological setting of a Finnish kindergarten.
