This monographic study on "Care and Education for teachers (as) and monitors (as) the municipal nursery schools in Cajazeiras - PB", had as target 40 teachers / instructors five kindergartens municipal public network Cajazeiras. It aimed to, in general, seize and analyze how teachers / instructors understand the Care and Education in day care and, specifically, so know the steps that make up the work of the teacher / monitor Creche, identify pedagogical practices involve Care and Educate and see if there is dissociation between Care and Educate the educational process of creches. To support this argument, it was used as a theoretical basis the contribution of the following authors: Pedrosa (2012), Garanhani, (2010), Freire (2006), Soares (2011), Kramer (2005), Craidy and Kaercher, (2001) among others to discuss this theme. The approach used in this study was: field research; semistructured interview with the management of kindergartens; sociodemographic questionnaire, the Free Association Test words and semistructured interviews, consisting of five questions, held with teachers and monitors of kindergartens. Given the research, it can be concluded that the care and education are inseparable and important processes for child development. These processes are essential to the realization of a conscious and committed practice with the welfare and growth of children. It should be noted that there is still, in the minds of monitors and teachers, a decoupling of Care and Education in early childhood education, so we can see a need to expand the studies in relation to this issue, so that education professionals children better understand the relationship between these two processes.
