Parceria entre família e escola: Um olhar sobre o processo de adaptação da criança na educação infantil

Abstract

This study aimed, through a qualitative approach and field research, to analyze the partnership between family and school in the adaptation process of children aged two to five years in a Municipal Center for Early Childhood Education (CMEI) in the northern area of Manaus – AM. This partnership is essential for the adaptation of children to preschool education, ensuring a stimulating and motivating learning environment where they can fully develop. The theoretical framework of this article is primarily based on the concepts of Paulo Freire (1968) and Vygotsky (1991), as both authors emphasize the importance of the social environment in children's learning. The analysis revealed that the adaptation process of children to the school environment in Early Childhood Education is more effective when family and school share responsibilities and maintain constant dialogue, whether through regular meetings, newsletters, emails, messages on specific digital platforms, or sociocultural activities. This collaboration enables a more stable learning environment for the child, where the expectations and educational approaches of both family and school can be aligned and planned to promote an inclusive and welcoming educational setting, serving as the foundation for a successful and enriching educational journey. Additionally, the family plays a crucial role in providing a home environment conducive to learning, with routines, a quiet study space, and encouragement of healthy habits. This creates a solid basis for a successful and enriching educational journey for the child.
