Abstract
his paper focuses on local policies for the provision of early childhood care and education services, that is, those aimed at children under the age of 4, an age at which education is not compulsory. The supply of services for children of these ages is much smaller than for ncompulsory ages, particularly the state supply. Faced with this scenario, local governments seek to intervene to offer alternatives to families with young children. By selecting three municipalities, we sought to account for the heterogeneity in the supply of services in a common territory (Northwest Greater Buenos Aires) and on the part of the same actor (the municipal government).
The aim of the study is to analyze early childhood education and care services for noncompulsory ages provided by three Buenos Aires municipalities located in the Northwest of Greater Buenos Aires: the Child and Family Development Centers of San Miguel, the Municipal Kindergartens of Tigre, and the Early Childhood Spaces of Tres de Febrero. From a qualitative methodological approach, an analysis is made of local initiatives using mainly primary sources, that is, interviews with officials in charge of the areas involved and some members of the work teams; secondary documentary sources are also reviewed, such as ordinances and publications made by the work teams themselves.
The municipal policies to be analyzed are guided by similar objectives, related to the integral development of children in early childhood, and the care and education spaces that such policies promote share several features in terms of the composition of the work teams, equipment, and activities proposed for children and families. However, some of these initiatives are regulated by an educational regulatory framework and others by a social development regulatory framework.
Some of the axes of analysis of the municipal initiatives are: objectives set; responsible area (hierarchy and location in the organic-functional structure of the municipal government); target population and population covered; since when each initiative has been developed and how it has evolved; composition of the work teams.
