Early childhood is considered an important period of the human life cycle, because during this stage the foundations are established for the adequate integral development of the individual, allowing him, in adulthood, significant advances in his educational, emotional and social capacities for his development in different scenarios.

Health education practices carried out in Integral Development Centers (CDI) are a fundamental axis for the development of early childhood, since they are part of the daily care provided in these centers during this first stage of life.

Taking into account the above, the people who are responsible for the care of children under five years of age in the Integral Development Centers (CDI), must have extensive and relevant training on topics related to nutrition and food, personal hygiene, growth and development of the infant, healthy lifestyles and good treatment; in a way that allows them to foster favorable learning environments and, therefore, contribute to strengthening the growth and integral development of children.

Palabras clave : growth and development; human development; education; child care; education health (DeCS).
