RESUMO

This research aims at investigating and understanding the childhood condition through age relationships and production of childhood culture among small children in educational context, raising new questions related to a budding issue. Therefore, through ethnographic studies, the focus of this research was to observe, describe and analyze the everyday life of small children (mainly from 3 to 6 years old) at a public institution of Early Childhood Education in Campinas/SP. Thus, the core of the concern in this investigation is related to the necessity for a broader concept of childhood beyond the theoretical concepts of child developmental psychology, towards Social Sciences knowledge, mainly Anthropology. This broader concept, intertwined with Brazilian and Italian productions in the Childhood Education field, involves children in different age groups, in privileged spaces of a variety of relationships (including social class, ethnic, gender, etc…) among children in the same and in different age groups, and its implications in the construction of a Pedagogy of Early Childhood Education that knows who these children are and what they are producing beyond any stage theory determinations and imposed chronological demarcations, as opposed to their age.
