Introduction
Abstract
In the complex world of early childhood education and care (ECEC), where binary definitions and rigid structures often limit interactions with fluidity and ambiguity, mentorship gestures emerge as both a promise and a paradox. These moments of connection carry an inherent tension, one that possesses the power to reshape paths and redefine futures, a dance of influence and insight that may transcend oppressive practices.
