This paper deals with the possibility of assessing the beginning of the process of character building of children in early Childhood Education. Theoretical foundation is based on Aristotle’s philosophy. Hypothesis is that social interaction and the practice of virtues should contribute to character building during daily school activities. The objectives of this research are: to improve learning and practicing of virtues (Friendship, Honesty and Justice); to contribute to social interaction; and to observe the connection between the practice of virtues and the process of socialization and beginning of character building by the children. Methodological approach was the Action Research method, with greater commitment, using observation, intervention, workshops and questionnaires. Activities specially created for this research were selected and presented to children. Results show that it is possible to assess the evolution of children’s learning and practice of virtues and to help them begin the process of character building.
