During the preschool years, the basis for gender identity development is established. Even while most children can identify as boys or girls by the age of three, they are still sorting out the idea of gender. Even though gender role norms have broadened throughout time, children's future identity development may be aided by paying attention to the equality and variety of gender identity.

Anti-bias early childhood care and education (ECCE) program puts diversity and equity goals at the center of all aspects of its organization and daily life. It involves much more than adding new materials and activities into the already existing learning environment. Rather, broad systemic changes are necessary. The learning environment and curriculum, as well as program policies, structures, procedures, and processes, all come into play. Change also includes the attitudes of the individuals who serve the children and families. A collaborative leadership approach allows employees to start and then take ownership of their anti-bias efforts. Anti-bias leadership is focused on early childhood care and education field's fundamental ideas and best leadership practices.
