Thus, it is required that this work should be done in a planned manner, including the organization of adequate environments to stimulate the child development processes (motor, cognitive, emotional, social). The article emphasizes that a crèche must be a place where children can interact and socialize, complementing family activities. It also underlines the importance of the training received by professional staff who work in crèches.
