Taking as inspiration the speech of teachers in our training actions in schools, we will discuss, in this article, the potentialities and challenges present in the work with the relations of gender and sexuality in early childhood education. Our objective was to develop reflections on the senses and meanings of the actions of "teaching", "learning" and "educating", within an education perspective for gender and sexuality relations in schools. For this, we are based on feminist, post-structuralist and foucaultian theoretical-methodological approaches. All of them invite us to think about the subjects' constitution processes, as a result of the knowledge-power relations, inciting us to review our practices as teachers. We could see the need for a broader understanding of the concepts of gender and sexuality, as well as the articulation between them, which would facilitate the elimination of some barriers to address them without fear.

Keywords : gender; sexuality; early childhood education..
