Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the current struggle for the rights of working class womens and their children for day care center of Santo André, a city in the "Grande ABC", in the State of São Paulo. A struggle whose trajectory stands out with in the effervescence of social and union movements, in the 1970s and 1980s in Brazil. For this purpose, we used a literature review, document analysis and interviews with working class mothers, who have sons and daughters registered in public daycare centers in this municipality. The data analysis showed that mothers defend, fight, beyond their labor rights, highlighting their the search for public, high quality free, basic education, which deconstructs the recurrent discourse that the working class families look for day care center exclusively as a place of custody and care for their children. The research also shows that they value the presence of specialized professionals and the fact that their children live together in a collective education space, complementary to the family by creating conditions for the production of child cultures.
