The study is the result of observations made during the execution of the extension project of the Federal University of Rondônia in partnership with the municipality of Ji-Paraná / RO, from 2015 to 2017. It presents a reflection on the process and the impact of the results of the continuing education course taken by pedagogical coordinators and teachers involved in Early Childhood Education in the Municipality of Ji-Paraná-RO. The methodology used was the analysis of the records of the meetings with the teachers, the final evaluation, as well as the observation of the participation and the reports made by the coordinators during the sessions. The research subjects were fourteen pedagogical coordinators who work in schools of the municipality. The contributions of Alarcão (2001), Scarpa (1998), Hoffmann (2012) and others were used as theoretical reference. It highlights the importance of the implementation of a specific teacher education project for professionals engaged in Early Childhood Education, and it discusses the paths covered in this process in the municipality of Ji-Paraná / RO. The results indicate that continuing education for pedagogical coordinators is extremely important since they are the professionals responsible for delivering continuing teacher education and providing guidance for high-quality pedagogical activities in their schools.
