EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL: expansão do atendimento creche, um direito ainda não assegurado a todas as crianças brasileiras

Abstract

This work deals with the problem that involves the need to expand day care services in Brazil. Such an approach is justified in view of the reality experienced by most Brazilian municipalities in the face of the great demand for places in day care centers and the insufficient offer for the right care of children. who have not yet reached the age of four. The study aims to identify the growth in demand and the need to expand places in day care centers. This aim will be achieved through online research in works published basically from the Scientific Electronic Library Online - SCIELO. It is evident that the care of children from zero to three years old is of great importance for the psychological, social and cultural development of children. The Brazilian legal system is sufficient to make this service possible for all children, however, there is a great distance between what is provided for in the law and the possibility of its fulfillment. The studies indicate a percentage (37%) far from the minimum level of 50% to be reached by 2024 according to goal 01 of the National Education Plan. Evidencing in this way the need for continuity of public policies that can boost actions to expand care in day care centers as an example of PROINFANCIA, since there is a constant rupture of government programs motivated mainly by the endless transitions in leadership positions, leading most of the time, important programs and projects “back to square one”.
