The layout of this study is a mix, based on an action-research developed in three steps. The first step consisted on a creation of an educational offer to the interprofessional teaching in childcare; the second one was the concretization of the pedagogical offer; and the third one, the educational program evaluation.

In the third step, analyzes of the portfolios content created some categories: discussion about competence; learning through dialog; collaborative competences and potentialities of the pedagogical offer. Interviews with teachers put in evidence some categories: essential elements to create the offer; challenges to the sustainability of interprofessional education; paper of enabler to the educational offer; and obstacles to the implementation of interprofessional education.
