The objective of the research was to analyze the scientific production regarding accident prevention in early child rearing institutions. An integrative literature review, referring to the years between 2011 and 2021, whose research was carried out in May 2021 in seven information resources, raised the following issue: it was found that not all educators considered their knowledge about accident prevention satisfactory. However, most of them had already witnessed cases of injuries of this nature at schools. The first aid actions of these professionals were sometimes inefficient and many of them were not able to perform it due to the lack of appropriate materials and/or training to handle them, showing a need for qualification. The findings show weaknesses related to the knowledge and training of professionals from day care centres and preschools about accident prevention and first aid in early child rearing institutions, which makes a health-education interface crucial.
