OBJECTIVES: The article attempts to answer the questions whether “early care as a social
prevention service is effective and justifiable in the social service system” and “why it deserves
major attention”. THEORETICAL BASE: The theoretical background of the article is the early
care with an insight into the process of transformation and consolidation of areas of endangered
childcare in the Czech Republic. A brief retrospective account and description of current
systems in the Czech Republic and abroad were used as further information input resources.
METHODS: To obtain theoretical information, the authors analysed relevant literature and
documents. A longitudinal research method was then used to collect the required statistical data.
The data was obtained from the existing records at a specific early care provider. OUTCOMES:
The longitudinal research enabled the authors to analyse the data and to evaluate legitimacy and
effectiveness of the service provided to a very vulnerable target group: families with a young
child with a limited opportunity to socialize as a consequence of a health impairment. SOCIAL
WORK IMPLICATIONS: The conclusions have key implications in the context of a familyoriented
social policy as early care strengthens the individual family´s capacities and significantly
supports psychological, social and somatic development of children.
