This article presents a multiple-case study of four early childhood settings in a borough in Lisbon, Portugal. Researchers were looking at questions of equity because of recent legislation that reinforced it. Participant observation, ethnographic interviews and artefacts collection were used as ways of collecting data. A brief description of each one of the settings is provided. Emergent themes were found which connect with: leadership and organizational structures; pedagogies and quality supervision; local policies of emancipation and self-realization. Implications are drawn that may serve as reference for educators, administrators and policy makers
