Abstract

Considering the polarity between nature and culture, this article deals whith crèches’ ~unctions and meanings when poor kids are the target population.
In this sense, the article poses that crèches are critical for the development of the epistemological subject that exists in every human being.
The article concludes that, in Brazilian crèches, conducting poor kids from “nature” (=ignorance) to “culture” (= epistemology) leads to the presence of ideological conflicts between the social production of excluded subjects and the social production of
epistemological subjects.
