This paper contains elements related to the demands placed on Early Childhood Education by the COVID-19 pandemic.  Demands for greater coordination and commitment between municipal, state and federal levels as well as for intersectorial collaboration involving Education, Social Assistance and Health, among other sectors, have been evidenced. We argue that, in planning the return, each day care center and preschool should   consider the priority of children and should have as a reference the principles, knowledge and values ​​already built and expressed in the legislation. This planning must be collective, so that everyone may contribute and take responsibility for the decisions. Clarity about the identity of Early Childhood Education should guide the dialogue with areas and contribute to the quality of the education of babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers. The rights of these subjects, their families and professionals should be guaranteed.
