Study title

This study aims to describe the actions implemented by educational services during the COVID-19 emergency in the spring of 2020, to understand how nurseries and preschools responded to the emergency. The objective of the research is to understand how educators, teachers and pedagogical coordinators of 0-6 preschool services faced the lockdown period and consequently how the educational relationship, proposals, actions of involvement, training, design and pedagogical documentation were declined. Through a questionnaire administered to early childhood services mainly in Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna regions in the first months of the lockdown, the changes introduced are investigated with the intent to understand experiences and ethical-moral questioning, modifications to project development, and conditions for the continuity of educational processes through renewed relations, capable of bringing out the main and generative features of educating.
