EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL NO BRASIL: vaga nas creches uma questão de políticas pública

Abstract

This paper describes the need to increase the number of places in daycare centers for a better development of children of preschool age. Such a discussion is necessary, because it is believed that even with the legal support, the offer of vacancies is still not sufficient for the existing demand. Thus, the objective of this study is to present the need to expand the number of places in daycare centers so that there is a better quality of life for children from 0 to 3 years old and also to meet their pedagogical needs. For the realization of this article, it was used as methodology the review of scientific articles, literary works and official Brazilian documents that deal with the topic addressed. With this study it was possible to perceive that the space of the nursery, the community and the family can be considered as a potential place for the development of the children, which is seen as a process that needs to be monitored. It became evident that, with each passing day, the demand for early childhood education increases, while the supply of places is insufficient.
