Abstract

This article presents the results of a Research-Training project carried out within the Centres for Children and Families (CBF) of the Municipality of Modena. The study focuses on accessibility as a means to engage all families, particularly the most vulnerable ones. Numerous EU Recommendations and the integrated Italian system itself highlight this aspect, as essential for improving the quality of ECEC services, reducing inequalities from early childhood. The professionalisation of educators emerges as a key tool for achieving the goal of welcoming both children and adults, while also promoting the creation of a social network.
