Abstract

– The Bond between Educator and Baby is Devised in the Interlacement of Caring, Educating and Playing. The literature about early childhood education proposes an interlacing between educating, caring, and playing as a subsidy for the teacher’s action. However, those actions and their possible effects on the bond with the baby must be more accurately understood. Our aim is to think of this relationship as the basis for an interested presence of the adult educator. To do so, we will use the topological figure of the Möbius strip on the proposition of a connection between caring, educating and playing, regarded as a single action in the educational work with babies in the daycare center.
