Abstract

Covid-19 outbreak forced the governments around the world to decide schools closure. In Brazil this circumstance lasted almost two years because a government wrong management had been marked by delays and lack implementation of public policies. The outbreak context brought important challenges for children and their families. This paper carried out a characterization and analysis of a questionnaire to assess the perception of fifteen families about care, socialization/learning, feeding and development of autonomy in shared context with children during the pandemic in a public day care center. Results show that families faced difficulties in socializing and playing. Feeding practices and use of objects-utensils during mealtimes and care had better indicators. However, difficulties in autonomy, learning, and anxiety increased. As a conclusion, the impact of pandemic changes must be evaluated, revealing actions that the school will have to carry out in the future, especially on children's development/learning processes.
