This article presents the construction process and the first statistical analysis of the EPASSEI (European Parent Satisfaction Scale about Early Intervention). The 57 items of this scale are based on the ideological postulates of the manifest of EURLYAID, which defines the most important dimensions of intervention in early childhood education. A factor analysis of the answers of 584 families (from 8 different countries) shows a factorial solution with 8 dimensions: satisfaction about child-centered intervention, parent-centered intervention, sibling-centered intervention, partnership between professionals and parents, organization of the service, help for the parents in accessing social networks, help for the child in accessing social networks, and satisfaction with help accessing to community resources. A reliability analysis of the scale shows coefficients with high levels of significance. In general parents are quite satisfied with early intervention, but the satisfaction scores are dependant on the 8 satisfaction dimensions.
