Summary:

In a municipality, an early childhood center is an essential local service for the families and a significant advantage for the development of the community. Based on practical examples, the developments of different achievements will be illustrated and will prove how regular cooperation between early childhood centers and municipalities contribute to the general quality of the services offered to families and maximise the impact of all stakeholders’ interventions in many respects. All of the initiatives described are in line with a sustainable and dynamic land planning and occupation perspective.
