This article aims to foster the discussion on the evaluation of early childhood education and to present the proposals for the evaluation of early childhood education  in  development  at  the  Center  for  Public  Policies  and  Education  Evaluation of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (Centro de Políticas Públicas e Avaliação da Educação da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora - CAEd / UFJF), as a contribution to a Brazilian methodology for assessing early childhood education. The proposals establish three methodological strategies for evaluating early childhood education that can be implemented independently or complementarily: a) field research sending online questionnaires to principals, coordinators, teachers and assistants who work in early childhood education;  b)  evaluation  through  observation  in  early  childhood  education  classes; and c) context evaluation based on the analysis of data from the School Census  of  Basic  Education  from  INEP,  the  Demographic  Census  and  PNAD  from  IBGE.  The  proposals  are  based  on  the  National  Curriculum  Guidelines  for Early Childhood Education (BRASIL, 2009), on the National Education Plan (BRASIL, 2014), on the Common National Curricular Base (BRASIL, 2017), different documents from the Ministry of Education, and national and international experiences.
