Reference for social responses in early childhood and preschool

Throughout the city, the Directorate of Development and Proximity Intervention of the Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa manages various social responses for people of very different ages and characteristics. Among these responses are those aimed at the younger audience: nurseries, family nurseries, and kindergartens. Therefore, keeping in mind the need to address new socio-educational challenges, it was considered a priority, in 2015, to build a framework for the social responses of early childhood and preschool.

The result, the product of the work of a group of authors who work on the ground, is this publication. As mentioned in its preamble, the Framework seeks to translate “a set of flexible and unifying guidelines aimed at structuring appropriate educational proposals that respect and value the plurality and multiculturalism of children and families, contributing to a quality socio-educational practice that promotes and equitably increases pedagogical opportunities.”

This book is part of the Social Action Sebentas Collection, an editorial line dedicated to sharing knowledge acquired and consolidated through practice, with the awareness, however, that this knowledge is always under continuous construction and improvement.
