description This paper presents the results of the Early Childhood degree of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona from its implementation in 2009 to 2013. Data covered includes the profile and achievements of both the students and professors involved in the Early Childhood Degree. Also, results emerging from the students placements in the schools during each course. The results demonstrate positive outcomes regarding both the students achievements and their satisfaction with the professors. However, it is clear there needs to be a greater emphasis on encouraging male students. A major area of concern is the professors contractual situation. Most of them involved, in fact, do not have stable contracts, working on a so called temporary basis. This instability by definition impacts on their commitment to the degree, meaning it is difficult to get deeply involved and often they have to commit to other work outside the university. To summarize, the feedback from the students placements in each of the four years has been very positive, highlighting the success of the Service Learning projects since its implementation.
