| Summary: | This research investigated Brazilian families’ perspective about the relationship with daycare/preschools in the COVID-19 pandemic context, more specifically concerning the adoption of remote activities, and its impacts on the family environment and child’s experiences. 880 guardians of children aged 0 to 6 years enrolled in daycare/preschools participated in the study conducted in 2020 through an online questionnaire. The data was quali-quantitatively analyzed. Most early childhood education institutions proposed play based remote activities. Due to reconfigurations of domestic environment, meaningful educational experiences for children coexisted with challenges and sorrow in families. Having in mind the full development of children, the relationship between families and early childhood education institutions must consider these new domestic dynamics.
