Abstract: Early childhood education and care services are closely linked to other social policy developments. Therefore the evolution of this sector influences substantially how social policies for the family are defined. In this article authors describe the current situation and the recent development of the early childhood education and care sector in Romania. The sector's challenges will be analysed in the context of baseline scenario regarding the evolution of population from 0 to 6 years. The analysis of the administrative data will be complemented by the results on the perception of Romanian parents regarding the development of the child care system collected through a quantitative research (questionnaire based survey) developed by the authors in October 2017.The results show a poor development of the nurseries system in Romania compared to that of kindergartens in a context of a country where issues of reconciling work whit family life are quite difficult to reach for parents with low wages.
