Methods: This cross-sectional study included 318 mother-child pairs recruited from preschools in socio-economically diverse areas of Samsun.

Background/objectives: While studies suggest that young children can learn and think about sustainability, most research has focused on children aged three to five, leaving a significant gap in understanding how to engage toddlers (one to three years of age) in early-childhood education in sustainability (ECEfS). This study aims to address this gap, a crucial and often overlooked area, by investigating preschool teachers' views of ECEfS and their daily practices for nurturing sustainability in a toddler group in a Swedish preschool.

Methods: We employed a case study approach, incorporating observations, interviews, and document analysis for data collection.
