A relação entre creche e família: entraves que permanecem há décadas

The text presents the main results of a survey conducted in 1997 that was never published. As the proposal of the dossier is revisiting the history of the struggles by the kindergartens and child education in Brazil, we note that the discussion presented here remains current and, therefore, can contribute to the historical record which contributes to the understanding of current times. The theme focuses on the relationship between the day care and the children’s families, showing that some problematic relationship identified 30 years ago can still be observed. Discussions rely on theoretical constructivist socio- interacionist approaches to human development, observing the relations between professionals and families, with their reflections on young children, and about the role of day care in a wider social context
