Supervision and promotion of infantile development are important health actions and must be performed in day care centers. Thus, the child can develop, mainly in areas where he/she depends on the adult’s support, such as in the language and personal-social ones. The objective of this study was to evaluate language and personal-social abilities in children enrolled in three high-quality day care centers in the city of São Paulo. Children from 0 to 36 months were evaluated by the Denver II Selection Test of Development (TTDD II) in 2 different moments, with a 5-month interval. They all had an adequate socioeconomic level. Ethic cares according to the Brazilian legislation were considered. Thirty-three children were evaluated: 19 from the day care center A, 9 from B and 3 from C. Ages in the first evaluation ranged from 4 months and 23 days to 2 years, 7 months and 11 days. In the second evaluation, ages ranged from 10 months and 20 days to 2 years, 10 months and 8 days. Eighteen were males and fifteen females. Two children had their gestational age corrected. Two couples were twins who were born in an adequate gestational period (more than 37 weeks). Weight at birth varied from 1,970 to 4,280 g. Regarding language and personalsocial areas, the obtained classifications in the first evaluation were analyzed by the Fisher’s test (risk a = 0.05) with a non-significant result. Thus, the population of the three day care centers was unified. In the second evaluation, children’s abilities improved in the two areas. The results of each child were paired and analyzed by the Sign’s test (risk a = 0.05): non-significant results were obtained in
the language area but they were significant in the personal-social area (p = 0.008). The day care centers must have contributed to the obtention of these results. Structural factors (proportion adult/ child, small groups of children) of the three day care centers were adequate.
