Abstract
This paper demonstrates how the new national curriculum for the Danish ECEC area, implemented in 2018, is drawing on global discourses of both competition and nationalism. But comparing the specific ways in which the work with the curriculum is carried out in two daycare centers situated in two very different parts of Denmark, the paper shows how the ECE professionals interpret and enact the curriculum through very different understandings of its purpose. It is demonstrated how the professionals draw on values and rationales, that connects the decontextualized policy documents to institutional context and place.
