Abstract

This study aims to discuss how the theme of Democracy and its principles are presented in the academic and political pedagogical scenario of Early Childhood Education from the contemporary Brazilian historical and political-social context. It is multidisciplinary discussion, theoretically supported mainly by the writing of Peter Moss (2009), Jens Qvortrup (2010), Samernto, Fernandes and Abrunhosa (2007) and Masschelein and Maarten Simons (2014), for the re-signification of the categories, and for the democratic debate to establish relations with the educational scenario of children from 0 to 6 years of age, based on some problematizations. We approach the democratizations of and in Child Educations, differentiating between them, and we point out possibilities fo the discussions to move forward in the sense of democratizing democracy with Early Childhood Education , and this guarantee the protagonism of child participation.
