The nursery school service has a complex history: from being a moral entity created to meet the needs of a small part of the population, it has become a conscious promoter of inclusive participatory practices. The historical and legislative excursus has allowed the full recognition of the service as a virtuous practice, in order to trigger inclusive circuits, which counteract poverty and social marginality. The crèche, therefore, is configured as a privileged space to build the first affective and educational relationships, through the organization of flexible and inclusive educational contexts, with the aim of encouraging the participation so compromised during the period characterized by the spread of Covid-19. The article will shed light on how the nursery and the relationship between the figures that constellate the child’s life have evolved over time and what role coeducation played during the pandemic.
