This study aimed to identify the knowledge and practices that people have regarding 0 to 3 year-old children in order to add information for professionals who work with this age group of children in the Nutrition Education field. The methodological procedure followed a case study, with a qualitative approach. The sample studied was analyzed through questions and observations of topics related to infantile nutrition along with data about these professionals' educational degrees. The results show that both, educational agents and infant education teachers have a significant knowledge about infant nutrition. However their biggest concern was to supply the children's nutritional necessities through a healthy meal, leaving in a second place the activities that could be accomplished by a Nutritional Education Program, built collectively and introduced into the school.
