CARVALHO, Cristina; LOPES, Thamiris  and  RESINENTTI, Priscila. Early Childhood Education and Cultural Spaces: Possibilities for appropriation in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Perspectiva [online]. 2017, vol.35, n.1, pp.300-322. ISSN 2175-795X.  https://doi.org/10.5007/2175-795X.2017v35n1p300.

This article investigates conditions and opportunities for the use of cultural spaces in the city of Rio de Janeiro by early childhood education programs under the municipal secretariat of education. On-line questionnaires were sent to cultural spaces in the city registered in the Guia de Museus Brasileiros [Brazilian Museum Guide]. The results highlight the difficulties of communication with the institutions, an unequal distribution of cultural equipment and the scarce attention given to attending small children. An important conclusion is that improvements in the conditions and opportunities for attending this age group in cultural spaces is a necessary task for recognizing children as citizens with rights and cultural institutions as democratic spaces.

Keywords : Infancy; Early Childhood Education; Cultural Spaces.
