Abstract

This article discusses playing and care-taking as tasks that are part of human development. To do so, it counts on theories of authors who are a reference in early childhood education. Environmental organization, at this stage, and the offering of appropriate materials are also deemed as relevant practices and a theme in the formative process. The text problematizes human animality as a set of forces to be observed in children. In this proposition, early childhood pedagogy must be attentive to it and it must promote children's free initiative, giving them the conditions to playfully make their discoveries. Within this process, care-taking is also indispensable and consists on the displaying of the animals that we are, which is inextricable from the act of educating.
