Summary/Abstract: High quality education and care from a very early age creates a good foundation for lifelong learning, especially for children from disadvantaged backgrounds. Equity in education is not yet realised for children from poor backgrounds or whose parents have a low level of education. Our research proved the importance of two elements: the first would be the importance of education by qualified personnel of children from the first day they enter a crèche facility. The second important aspect is related to communication in the relationship between professionals and parents in stimulating parental engagement. We underline the contribution crèche facilities can have in improving the learning opportunities of children of this age by offering a balance between social inclusion and educational stimulation.
