PELOSO, Franciele Clara  e  PAULA, Ercília Maria Angeli Teixeira de. A educação da infância das classes populares: uma releitura das obras de Paulo Freire. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2011, vol.27, n.03, pp.251-280. ISSN 0102-4698.

Paulo Freire was one of the most wellknown Brazilian Educators with world wide recognition. However, it is possible to perceive that his assumptions are, for the most part, spread within studies and practices concerning the education of teenagers and young adults. Therefore, the aim of this study was to present an article relating to these “Freirian” presuppositions or, another words, finding an association between them and early years education. After all, historically, the “Freirian” legacy has been little mentioned in the pedagogical practices and discussions referring to this field. The methodology used was of a theo retical nature and based on a piece of qualitative research . Starting from an analysis of eight of Paulo Friere’s works, it was considered how he made mention, in many passages, different experiences of early childhood, of children and their education. From this perspective, it became evident that “Freirian” thinking can become a strong ally in the understanding of early childhood and of the education of children from the poorer classes.
