Abstract
Abstract Using constructive grounded theory, this research investigated relational values and practices implemented by Christian early childhood leaders. Data was collected through a survey-questionnaire and four in-depth case studies using semi-structured interviews, observations and document analysis. The findings showed that these leaders placed their relationship with God at the center of everything they did. Based on this relationship they implemented six relational values of accepting, welcoming, loving, respecting, empathizing and caring. These Christian values were then reflected in their daily relational practices, and were identified as empowering others, supporting others, modeling authenticity, providing social justice, ministering, helping and serving.
