This text aims to discuss the understanding that five-year-olds have about learning and playing at school. Six children who were in the last year of Kindergarten in a municipal public school in 2019 participated in this qualitative study. They were interviewed by a former teacher in the school environment, in order to prioritize the look and active listening to these children. The narratives were transcribed and analyzed using the Content Analysis technique, from an initial treatment carried out by the IRaMuTeQ software. The results showed that children have a positive image of the school and that they understand that it is in this space that they play to learn. They also pointed out how important it is that the different spaces in the school allow for playing, learning and feeling safe. Finally, the children stated that collectively constructed rules and agreements are important for the development of autonomy. KEYWORDS: Early Childhood Education. School. Play. Narratives.
