Descripció:Children growing up in prison environments may experience developmental risks, however, these can be mitigated by quality early care and affective bonding. The aim of this article was to examine the developmental characteristics of children living in the CAI Vilma Curling and their relationship with the maternal and educational care received. The research was quantitative with a non-experimental design. The sample included 20 participants. The results showed age-appropriate development among the children, associated with protective factors such as maternal responsiveness. However, limitations were identified in the availability of learning materials and stimulation experiences, demonstrating the need to improve the quality of care in prison contexts.
