This study aimed to investigate the educator-baby with disability’s relationship and the collective care in the daycare center. Ten educators from two Municipal Schools of Early Childhood Education in Porto Alegre that took care of two babies with physical disabilities participated. The educators took part in a Follow-up Program aimed at educators who attended babies with disabilities and responded to an interview. The data was submitted to inductive thematic analysis. The results reveal the importance of the educators and the childcare center as an environment that facilitates the personal maturation of babies with disabilities which was evident in the care provided to them in a sensitive way. However, it could be seen that care in a collective environment is challenging for educators and the baby with a disability demands greater emotional and physical availability from them which can make professional practice even more weary. Thinking about interventions that consider the specificities of the educator-baby with disability’s becomes relevant in the context of early childhood education, especially when considering the importance of inclusion from the initial stages of the educational process.
