This article reflects about how the conceptions of childhood and child were instituted along the History, intertwined with social transformations and the constitution of the educational institutions. In this paper, the childhood is understood as a social construct and seeks out to investigate its place in the contemporaneity. It is a theoretical discussion that conceptualizes “place” besides the geographic location, defining it as a space of the lived, as experience, and social interaction, based on Tuan (2013) and Augé (2012). From this perspective, it is possible to reflect about early childhood education in contemporaneity as a “place” of experience, based on Larossa (2011, 2017) and Agamben (2005) thoughts. The “place” of experience is an educational space that accepts new meanings for the childhood. Thus, the child’s singularity is value, being able to express themselves and be recognized as a social subject.

Keywords : contemporaneity; early childhood education; childhood; experience; place..
