Abstract

 This article is born from the concerns of two teachers from the public school system. Two women from the popular classes who have taken public exams and are active in the Children's Education space of the municipal network of Niterói. The text shares experiences with children from popular classes, mostly black, as a possibility for dialogue with practices and theories that strengthen education for ethnic racial relations in the daily life of Kindergarten. It brings reflections arising from a completed master's research and other research that is just beginning. As research teachers working in the same school unit, we begin to think of childhood as a power, as a force to bring about changes in our pedagogical practice. The meeting of our bodies and our researches intend other ways of thinking about the relationship between educating and caring for childhood. Paying attention to the experiences that cross black bodies in the daily life of a kindergarten school. This text shares the meanings and feelings of two teachers who fight for anti-racist practices and wish to provoke other ways of educating and caring for black and non-black children from the popular classes.
