A indissociabilidade entre cuidar e educar nos espaços do berçário

Abstract

This essay intends to provide a discussion about the comprehension of care and education inseparability ́s, based on the practices developed in a Child Education Institution, a local space aimed to children from 6 months to 4 years old. The essay‘s reflections were performed by observation experiences in a nursery room with infants from six months to a year and a half old. The period ́s observation was approximately four months, once a week for four hours. This essay had introduced a brief contextualization of the baby ́s construction as subject. Then, it did a brief survey of Early Childhood Education and, finally, reflected about the binomial care/education, using these theorists: Cerisara (1999); Bolsanello (2002); Vitta (2004); Secchi (2007); Becker et. al (2013), among others. At the end of this essay, we had reflected about the moments of care and education. However, we had realized that there was still a dichotomy in these practices on the part of educators. The moments of care and education had become limited by the restriction to the room space, the organization of time and toys.
