The paper presents and analyzes the new perspective from the "Integrated Education and Education System from birth to six years” defined by Law 107/2015 and Decree No.65 of 2017. Early Childhood education for toddler 0-3 and 3-6 pre school Childhood are an integrated system in which, starting with a new vision of the child from zero to six years, the theme of educational continuity and a pedagogical culture shared between “nursery” and pre school will be of particular importance. The new law opens up important educational perspectives in the perspective of zero-six, but also raises new challenges, particularly regarding coordination and training processes of professional educators and teachers.
