O brincar dos bebês na creche no encontro com a natureza: uma experiência numa creche em Maceió

Abstract

In the current socio-historical moment we are experiencing, following a pandemic that has exacerbated the already growing separation between humans and nature, due to the increasingly rapid advancement of the digital and technological era of modern society, thinking about experiences that restore contact between children and natural environments has become a concern among scholars and educators not only in Brazil but worldwide. Based on this concern, the objective of this final project is to discuss and present the author's professional experiences at a daycare center in the state of Maceió that adopts the Magaluzzian and Pikler approaches as guiding principles for teaching, considering their potential contributions to the full development of young babies. The methodology used was bibliographical research, linking the discussions of some authors on the topic with practical experiences in the investigated environment. In theory, this monograph seeks to understand and document how babies play in contact with nature, reflecting on possible causes of the gap between play and outdoor environments and presenting a glimpse into the daycare routine. Although nature is considered a setting full of possibilities for children to experience their childhoods, it is important to emphasize that the effectiveness of proposals that seek to connect play and nature lies in the hands of the institutions and the professionals who work within them, based on their pedagogical objectives and the way they manage interactions between children and the natural environment.
