%X The objectives of this study were to evaluate the growth and development of children in day care and to intervene in those with delayed of motor development. This study had the participation of 15 children (8 males and 7 females) between 0 to 2 years, attending a day care at Presidente Prudente/SP. It was used the charts of BMI/age of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to assess the growth and, for analysis of development, it was used the Operationalized Portage Inventory, which consists of tests divided into five areas: socialization, self-care, language, cognition and motor development, and it may establish if the age of the area become smaller (delay), equal to or greater than the chronological age in each child. The children had an average age of 17.86 months and eutrophic classification, in other words, normal BMI/age. The sample was above the chronological age in the areas of socialization (11 children), self-care (13), and motor development (13). The cognition area was equally distributed into smaller, equal and greater than chronological age. Only the area of language (13 children) was presented below the chronological age. The two children who had delayed motor development received motor intervention and, after the reassessment, there was significant evolution of the motor age, without changing in the classification of BMI/age. Therefore, most of these children had the proper growth and development for their age, except in the language area. In addition, the motor intervention was effective, confirming the importance of the performance of professionals specialized in health and education area in day care, contributing to children growth and development.
