I Tempi per le famiglie: le potenzialità di un approccio educativo integrato all’infanzia e alla famiglia

[Autom. eng. transl.] The current educational challenges associated with childhood care and education make strategic those contexts that know how to create dialogue, listening, welcoming, interdependence between different subjects. In this perspective, the adult-child co-presence services (Times for families, Centers for Children and Parents, Spaces for families ...) take on particular importance, which combine child care with parenting support and promotion of family participation. These educational experiences are paradigmatic, as they have been able to fit into the tradition of 0-3 services, declining new values and meanings. The copresence services have in fact faced the challenges of contemporaneity in a generative way, establishing themselves as meeting places and building, through training and research, their own pedagogical identity. The contribution presents some solicitations born around a training course for educators of the Times for Families of the Municipality of Brescia. A path that has placed at the center the challenge of recognition, but also of innovation, of the pedagogical lines of these services, through a participatory process.
