This work results from dissertation that aimed to analyze the legal instruments adopted in partnerships between private for-profit institutions and five municipalities in the interior (Araras, Hortolândia, Limeira, Piracicaba and Sumaré) for the supply of places in early childhood education. The objective is to verify that such legal instruments meet the legal requirements as well as to configure part of legislative strategies for allocation of public resources in the private sphere. This is a qualitative research of nature documentary. The methodological procedures used were document analysis, bibliographic research and content analysis. Through content analysis it was found that the municipal programs do not correspond to a transitional policy for the supply of places in early childhood education, as set long periods of validity of partnerships and provide for the possibility to extend them. We also observed that the transfer of responsibilities for the implementation of assistance to private entities for profit purpose, the use of vague or imprecise terms and the lack of care by municipalities surveillance mechanisms constitute a privatization policy strategy of early childhood education.
