Abstract

In Brazil, early childhood education has a trajectory permeated by major transformations since the first implementation strategies.  Initially terms such as childcare, childcare, maternal schools, were used to identify this age group (CAMPOS, ROSEMBERG and FERREIRA, 1993), and from the acceptance of the child as a subject of rights guaranteed by law, has the insertion of this age group in basic education and thus there was a need to create a nomenclature to differentiate the care of young children in order to reduce the problems of defining this stage. And so, gradually, the care of the child goes from a care-taker vision to a pedagogical and educational vision. The policies for the implementation of early childhood education (LDBEN 9394/96; LEI 12796/2013) are still recent what it entails in an area still in the process of being effective, and this requires attention and caution to think about times and spaces for this field.
