Pinhole photographs are the motto for constant reflections in this article. They were made by children attending a School of Early Childhood Education (EMEI), located in a Unified Education Center (CEU), a public and free equipment, created in 2004 as an urban public policy in the city of São Paulo. The points of view of girls and boys were privileged, as they allow approximations with representations of the neighborhood where they live, which at the same time is where the CEU is located. This is the result of a research conducted between 2015-2017 whose starting point were municipal public schools of early childhood education and children attending EMEI. The goal was to understand different aspects of the city from their points of view. Walks in and out of the institutional spaces guided by children and some EMEI employees, attentive dialogues and listening, and the realization of pinhole photographs - handmade on cameras produced with cans of groceries - were the methodology used. We highlight fundamental questions during the process: what is imagetically constructed by children? The image captured is image of what? Knowing that they are representations, therefore, true and false (Lefebvre, 2006), what can we infer about the neighborhood and the CEU and the spatiotemporal relations when we observe the images made? These questions guided field research about childhood, periphery and city in the neighborhood of Pedreira where the CEU is located, in the extreme south of São Paulo, and present us with the opportunity to know a small clipping of what was accomplished, with and from the children.

Keywords : urban periphery; childhood; public education.
