Who listens to the children of the Monjolo Rural Center?

Abstract

This article aims to establish intersections between the Plenarinha Project proposed by the Diretoria da Educação Infantil (DIINF) of the Secretaria de Educação do Distrito Federal (SEEDF) and the reality of the children from the Monjolo Rural Area who attend preschool at a kidgarden in Recanto das Emas. These children rely on bus transportation to access their classes and, often express teir actual needs regarding school services. As Plenarinha is a departamental Project that seeks to maintain a sensitive listening approach to children in order to influence public policies for early childhood, this article reflects on what the school has been hearing from the children and what policies SEDF has offering to children living in rural areas.
