What, in fact, must be present in the curriculum for infants and young children? What should be the basis of a curriculum for kindergarten? It is on this theme that this project versa. In this way it has the following objectives: Define what teaching for kindergarten in order to propose a curricular organization. To support the discussions the following references will be used: RICHER and BARBOSA, 2010; MENA and EYER, 2014; PORTUGAL, 2010; LINO, 1998; in addition to the official documents of the Brazilian education.
