The paper presents results of a survey that was conducted at the Federal University of Rio Grande - FURG, and aimed to understand the operated displacements concerning the cycle of childhood public policies. The study is anchored in the poststructuralist perspective and elects, Guattari and Foucault to subsidize it. Regarding the analytical tools, the Foucauldian concepts of biopolitics and governament are used. Highlights the concept of governmentality as a powerful tool, able to offer clues to discuss the implications of public policy covered here. The study develops an analysis from the official documentation concerning the first three years of primary schooling, and to compose the analytical corpus, documents rekated to the cycle of Childhood and Money Direct at School Program - Sustainable Schools. In this work we will refer to one of the axes of analysis: "The extension of school functions: environmental education and sustainability." We argue that the ways of being and living in a contemporary context seem, increasingly guided by ways of living "sustainable and environmentally friendly," and that the reason neoliberal state appropriates such discourses, in particular as regards production child subjects with more skills and abilities. For that schools, considered as a central locus, can produce subjectivity. We conclude that public policy, in line with such discourses, extend the functions of the school to make a childhood facing a market designed by a neoliberal political rationality.
