The present PhD research is inserted in the Research Line: Training, Teacher Professionalization and Educational Work, of the Post-Graduation Program in Education of the Faculty of Education of the Goiás Federal University of (FE / UFG); and compose one of subprojects developed by the Public Policies and Education of the Child in Goiás: stories, conceptions, projects and practices of the Center for Studies and Research of Childhood and its Education in Different Contexts (NEPIEC / FE / UFG). We investigated the conception of the teachers of the Municipal Centers of Early Childhood Education (ECMEIs) and Early Childhood Education Centers (CEIs), focusing on the constituent elements of teaching work with children from zero to three years of age. We start from the hypothesis that the teaching work consists of several elements, at a given historical moment, in a specific context. In this sense, we understand that teachers, imbued with their conceptions as children and from the way they learn and develop, plan activities and promote interactions through mediations that result from their initial and continued formation; so does the experiences of teachers in the field. In practice, the interferences of the objective conditions of institutions - material resources, pedagogical, physical space - as well as the aspects related to the valuation and teaching career are notorious. We understand that all these elements influence the accomplishment of teaching work with children from zero to three years of age and, therefore, outlined as the centralproblem of the research: which conceptions of the teachers of Infant Education on the constituent elements of teaching work with children from zero to three years old? Based on dialectical historical materialism, we conducted a theoretical, documentary and empirical research, with the participation of 63 teachers, in the period of 2015 and 2016. As a working methodology for the apprehension of the object of research, three methodological strategies were presented: the bibliographical review, with which we sought to know the existing contributions and gaps that make new research feasible; therefore, we collected data in master's dissertations, doctoral theses and scientific articles of the field to be investigated, the proposal of questionnaires; and the analysis of documents pertinent to the reality of Early Childhood Education in the Jataí city, of Goiás State. In order to achieve the objectives of this investigation, a vast theoretical framework was used to understand the teaching work within a dialectical historical materialist perspective. By analyzing the data that are marked out by the process of theoretical abstraction, on the basis of dialectical historical materialist epistemology, we constitute dimensions under which the teaching work takes place. These dimensions do not appear as separate and sealed parts, but they relate, integrate and blend into a whole, in which the teaching work materializes. Thus, in our analysis we conclude that the teaching work with children from zero to three years of age requires the intentional action of professionals in multiple dimensions, among which must be present the indissociability of care and education; establishment of the routine; daily planning; the organization of spaces and activities; the evaluation of the teachers' own work; and the interactions and mediations provided. Therefore, the data showed that there are several dimensions that need to be articulated in the intentionality of the teachers. The research also showed us that these dimensions of teaching work with children from zero to three years of age go beyond the binomial care-educate and that this category is insufficient to designate the totality that must represent teaching with the children from zero to three years of age.
