This paper aims to analyze the relationships among three-year-old children and between them and adults in the context of a daycare center, by identifying the possible presence of both the ideal of whitening and coloniality. Theoretically situated in the field of ethnic-racial studies, it problematizes issues related to the curriculum, coloniality and the ideal of whitening. Field research was carried out in a daycare center with three-year-old children, through participant observation. Qualitative analysis showed that white girls are forged with praise and affection, and this makes them think they are worthy of attention; they learn that they are important. With black girls in the same daycare, the opposite happens: the more they are despised or treated with indifference, the more they withdraw, shut up and isolate themselves; moreover, the darker their skin tone, the greater the indifference shown by the school. These girls learn that they are not important or that they are less important than white girls. It is concluded that the ideal of whitening and coloniality have guided the relationships among children, as well as between them and adults.

Palabras clave : curriculum; whitening ideal; black children.
