Objectives. To know the quality standards of the home environment and explore their relationships with socioeconomic status and maternal education. Methods. Quantitative – exploratory study done between March and August 2013. We collected data from 5.859 children from 1 to 24 months. We also collected data from 5.723 mothers. We applied the Family Care Indicators (FCI) and the Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment (HOME), and a sociodemographic questionnaire. Results. Children in households with a higher level of wealth have increased availability of play materials; also most frequently performed activities in the company of an adult and in their homes has books for adults and newspapers. In households with more children of the household head, children play with fewer toys of different uses and origins, and perform fewer activities with a grownup. Most parents had practical attachment with their children while in relation to the coldness of the home, as was observed repeated prohibition to do something to one of the children and go with shouts to one of his sons. Physical punishment would be present in 3 of 10 cases. Conclusions.
