Sumario:The importance of the preschool phase (from 2 to 6 years of age) in children is emphasised, with regard to the biological maturation process as well as to socio-psycho-motor development which occurs in this phase as a consequence of environmental stimuli. However this important age group is barely reached by the various existing programs and receives the least nutritional assistance and socio-cultural guidance. In Brazil more than 90% of this group receive no kind of organized assistance. An alternative, less sophisticated, program is suggested, on Preschool Education and Feeding Centre (CEAPE) lines, more consistent with local resources. This type of program recommended provides all-round assistance to this very import age group, at low cost.
