Abstract

Early childhood education is an important period in the child's learning process and the knowledge of education professionals is important to mediate pedagogical practices that integrate the physical, emotional, affective, cognitive, and social aspects of the children, considering their active role in the social environment. The objective of this study was to analyze and understand the conceptions and actions of kindergarten teachers, monitors and school psychologists about child development in a city located in the state of Paraíba. 17 teachers, 17 monitors and four school psychologists participated in this study. They worked in public institutions of early childhood education. These professionals answered a sociodemographic questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. The results indicated that most teachers and monitors perceive child development from the proposed activities and play situations. In turn, psychologists have reported that child development is a continuous process that can be perceived through the interaction situations between the adult and the child. This study reaffirmed the importance of the influence of conceptions on child development in the practices of the professionals.
