Objective: To evaluate the nutritional status and neonatal conditions of children enrolled in daycare centers. Methods: Cross-sectional study, carried out with 139 children enrolled in Early Childhood Education Centers. Gestational data, birth conditions, socioeconomic conditions and assessment of current nutritional status were collected, assessed using Body Mass Index by Age and Height indicators and classified according to the World Health Organization. The data were analyzed using the SPSS 25.0 program, with a significance level of 5%. Results: The study found 34.4% of overweight children and 22.6% of short stature among children, and there was a statistically significant correlation between the variables Z-score E/A (short stature) with the Z- BMI/I score (overweight); between gestational age and birth weight and height, and also between birth weight and height. Conclusion: There was excess weight and short stature in proportions higher than previous national studies, demonstrating an association of these indicators with important birth conditions.
