Abstract

The quality of education and care contexts for children under 3s has been associated with positive effects on children’s learning, development and wellbeing. In this article, a proposal is presented for the evaluation of quality in which the child’s wellbeing and involvement are recognized as catalyst processes, at the service of training and research. The study centers on the training of professionals aiming at improving practices through reflexive experimentation of pedagogical frameworks specific for children under 3s. The results reveal positive effects of the training process at the level of observation and interpretation of the children’s experiences, as well as an increase on their levels of wellbeing and involvement. These evidences are relevant considering the need for pedagogical frameworks that support in a consistent and grounded way the evaluation and improvement of quality in contexts for under 3s.
