The INTESYS project focuses on piloting new approaches to Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) systems in Europe with a view to ensuring that children and families in vulnerable situations have access to high-quality ECEC provided by services that are better integrated across the different sectors (education, health, welfare, etc.), professions and across age groups and governance levels. INTESYS will respond to the European Quality Framework on ECEC (2014) by promoting integration of different services: care, education, health, family/social services, employment, cultural, integration of migrants; between age-related services: transition between services for the unborn/pregnant mothers, crèche, kindergarten/maternity schools and primary schools; of systems at different levels of public governance (local, regional and national).
