This work aims to investigate the function of the Early Childhood Education teacher based on the study of several researchers and theorists of the theme, through the characterization of laws and regulations about the theme in the city of São Paulo and in Brazil, and to search for perspectives about the work of teachers of babies and small children expressed in semi-structured interviews with 04 expert professionals in the area who act in early childhood education in the city of São Paulo (01 principal and 3 teachers). The theoretical support is based in authors such as FúlviaRosemberg – that has established the bases for a high quality early childhood education and the specificities of the professional who work in this stage; Tizuko M. Kishimoto – concerning how to practically operate the education by means of the activity of playing; EmmiPikler and Zabalza – who have brought the conception of early childhood education itself. Data obtained were presented in summary tables, pictures and charts of information, whose results have suggested that: (a) it is possible to identify and establish relations among the theorists and the regulations concerning the characterization of the identity of the teacher of babies and small children, based on the conceptions of childhood and the childhood pedagogy; (b) the manifestations of the interviewed professionals, besides their experience, have revealed certain ignorance of the regulations, lack of clarity with regard to the functions of taking care and educating, though agreeing on the importance of always focusing the child; (c) such agreement approaches the professionals to the theorists, who recognize the childhood as an important stage and a vital moment in the human beings’ lives, that must be lived with quality by the children and with a specific perspective facing the childhood, by the professionals; and (d) theoretical concepts, legal regulations and depositions of the interviewed professionals recognize the importance of considering the child as historical and law subject and the playing as their main form of expression, as well as the need of mediating knowledge, providing meaningful experiences through the most varied languages.
