This research was performed with the participation of 54 teachers and 15 principals; the teachers filled in the Instrument of Identification of Children with Special Educational Needs and the principals were interviewed. The results based on the teachers’ conceptions showed that 40 children with special educational needs are included in the day nurseries of the city, most of them were boys aged between two to three years old, and 27.5% of them were identified as in a risk situation.
