The article discuss the pedagogical work in children's schools, from the conceptions of teachers who work in the nursery. The intent of this research is justified by questioning the existing gap between what they think and what they do these professionals, since in practice the care related to the child's body happen mechanical and dissociated way of an intentionally educational work. To see how this issue is perceived by teachers, a questionnaire with open questions that sought to raise aspects of the pedagogical work organization babies was applied. The survey results indicate that, from a practical point of view, there are still quite significant mistakes in the work of these professionals, since the concern is only with the hygiene and the physical safety of babies. Thus, it is necessary that educational activities are designed for the nursery, to consider teaching as an educational opportunity in working with babies, aimed at their learning and integral development.
