Abstract
The evolution of the family has given rise to a new conceptualisation, along with differ- ent family models. Thus, the aim of this research is to be aware of family diversity and analyse the re- sponse given by the school at Early Childhood Education. To that end, a study with 48 teachers from 7 schools of Bilbao has been carried out. An ad hoc questionnaire has been developed, in order to eval- uate the response given to family diversity by those schools from the point of view of the profession- als as well as from the institution itself. Once the gathered information has been examined, it comes to the conclusion that there are aspects to improve in both levels and that variables, such as the age of the professionals or the family models with which they work at school, have influence in the treatment given to family diversity in those schools. Finally, the educational implications of the entire above are discussed.
