ResumoPretendemos neste artigo estabelecer uma aproximação entre a corporeidade, a educação infantil e a vivência do yoga na infância. Para promover esse encontro, lançamos um olhar fenomenológico para as experiências das crianças com base nos pressupostos da corporeidade e da motricidade como condição existencial e de criação do mundo. As reflexões resultam de uma proposta de vivências em yoga, com duração de um ano, realizada com crianças de quatro e cinco anos de idade provenientes de duas escolas públicas municipais de Bauru-SP. O entrelaçamento proposto evidenciou a elaboração de um saber corporal direcionado para a percepção e conhecimento de si e para a escuta, a sensibilidade e os afetos na relação com o outro.Palavras-chave: Corporeidade. Motricidade. Educação Infantil. Yoga.Corporeity and yoga in early childhood education: experiences and discoveriesAbstractIn this article, we intend to establish an approximation between corporeality, early childhood education and the experience of yoga in childhood. To promote this meeting, we take a phenomenological look at the children's experiences based on the assumptions of corporeality and motricity as an existential condition and creation of the world. The reflections result from a proposal of experiences in yoga, lasting one year, performed with children between four and five years old from two public schools in Bauru-SP. The proposed interlacing evidenced the elaboration of a corporal knowledge directed to the perception and knowledge of oneself and to listening, sensitivity and affections in the relationship with the other.Keywords: Corporeality.

Children spend a large amount of time each day in early childhood education and care (ECEC) institutions, and the ECEC play environments are important for children’s play opportunities. This includes children’s opportunities to engage in risky play. This study examined the relationship between the outdoor play environment and the occurrence of children’s risky play in ECEC institutions. Children (n = 80) were observed in two-minute sequences during periods of the day when they were free to choose what to do. The data consists of 935 randomly recorded two-minute videos, which were coded second by second for several categories of risky play as well as where and with what materials the play occurred. Results revealed that risky play (all categories in total) was positively associated with fixed equipment for functional play, nature and other fixed structures, while analysis of play materials showed that risky play was positively associated with wheeled toys. The results can support practitioners in developing their outdoor areas to provide varied and exciting play opportunities.

Abstract There is evidence that Early Childhood Education positively contributes to optimal performance in Elementary School, but there are few studies about its infl uence on socio-behavioral variables. This study aimed to explore the association between duration of Early Childhood Education attendance (one or two years) and developmental outcomes in the 3rd grade. A total of 151 students from public schools participated in the study and their academic performance, social skills, externalizing behavior and stress symptoms were assessed. Data analysis comprised group comparison and regression with control of socioeconomic background. The results showed that children who had attended Early Childhood Education for one more year showed better achievement and less stress symptoms. Duration of Early Childhood Education attendance was a significant positive predictor for achievement and a negative one for stress in the 3rd grade. We discuss the quality of Early Childhood Education and its influence on the variables assessed and point to the need for a systematic replication study to assess the generalization of the results.
