This paper aims to verify how do babies and adults behave at the moment when they meet and separate at a day-care-center. Data were obtained from individual interviews following a semi-structured guide with 21 educators of the day-care-center about each from 4 to 24 months under their care (n=90) and from the video tape records of the situations. Data were analyzed through a quantitative system, quantitative-interpretative and qualitative one. The results of this study indicate that this babies' sample has a strong link with mother, specially after the eight month. This finding suggests a secure attachment pattern because they manifest a lot of joy when their mothers come back and they are very affective with them. So, collective setting is not affecting, in a negative way, babies/mothers attachment.Downloads
