The paper presents the results of a long-term qualitative examination of early childhood educating and childcare (ECEC). It is ten years of targeted research, with the KEGA grant scheme no. 070UK-4/2016 which enables to reveal different levels of educational practice, and the fact that educational practice needs to be supported by pedagogical science. The research sample consisted of more than 110 subjects - parents, educators (caregivers) and children. Research tools applied, were focus group, interview and observation, via which massive research material was analyzed. The most important finding of research is the need for scientific support in this area, because the caregiver has no support in the current literature. Love, boundaries, consistency, and time prove to be important critical points in the process of bringing up (educating) a child in an early childhood education and childcare facility, providing care up to 3 years of the child's age, and educating in the family.
