Abstract

This work aimed to discuss the relationship between crèche and family, using data from an empirical investigation on life conditions of crèche’ users. The study used information from 90 mothers of children enrolled in two day-care centers in a poor neighborhood in Salvador. The information was gathered through questionnaire and interview. The results show very precarious living conditions, with probable repercussions on the quality of home care for the child. This characterizes a situation of high risk and vulnerability for the child’s early development. In this paper, the day care center is thought as an intermediary unit, which can foster and sustain public policies to promote social equality, as well as to prevent the perpetuation of poverty and violence cycle, having a positive effect on the well being and development of children.

Keywords: creche, family, community, poverty.
