Abstract

The article reflects on how the health crisis caused by Covid-19 has been dealt with in Italy at the level of childcare services. After having reconstructed the national political and normative framework, the attention is focused on the Tuscan reality. The aim is to illustrate on the one hand some experiences in the Tuscany Region during the lockdown to guarantee a continuity in the educational relationship at a distance and on the other hand to show the Tuscan educational services have reacted to the restart of the educational year 2020-21. The first aspect is reconstructed through a reconnaissance of materials placed on the web, while the second aspect is documented through the results of a survey conducted by us and which involved the educational services of the Cooperative Arca. The result is a dynamic picture that highlights the efforts of the educational staff both in management of routines and in the search for new ways of relating to families.
