The goal of this work was of evaluating the quality of the relationships that the educator of Infant Education promotes with the children from 0 up to 3 years in the Kindergarten. Considering the teacher's Social Representations on educating, child́ scare, to play and the child. The qualitative research was developed in five Reference Centers in Infant Education of the city of João Pessoa, chosen by the geographical and population criteria. The research was divided in three stages. The first one, accomplished in July of 2012, was characterized by the accomplishment of interviews about the Docent Formation of the educators and the application of records with information about the participant institutions. In this stage participated 51 persons, being 14 professors and 37 Kindergarten auxiliaries. In the second stage of the research we perform observations of the docent ́s practice with the fill out of the Adult Engagement Scale, instrument available in the Manual do Projeto Desenvolvendo a Qualidade em Parcerias -DQP (BERTRAM & PASCAL, 2009). In this stage participated 34 professors and auxiliaries, between July and October of 2012. In the third stage, accomplished between November and December of 2012, we perform interviews with 19 professors, 28 auxiliaries and 2 directors, totaling 49 subjects. The interviews contemplated the dimension of the educators' Social Representations on the child, to play, educating and the care ́s child. The contact with the analyzed group was registered in Field Diaries. In order to analyze the collected materials in the first and third stage we used the Bardin ́s Content Analysis (2002). The second stage of the research and the interviews processes were analyzed according to the DQP Manual. The dada generally show that the level of the educators' initial formation is considerably low. In spite of whole a movement of valorization and of the crescents studies that show the importance of these professionals' initial formation, we still see actions and decisions based in the motherly vision of Infant Education, where it prevails the idea that the person that works with children, carrying child ́scare functions, more specifically the auxiliaries, don't need a specific formation. We observed that the Continuing Education seem not to consider the level of these professionals' initial formation. Although we find in the study of the Social Representations on Educating, to Play, Child ́scare and the Child, these categories well connected, in the interviews and in the observations of the educational practice we verified data where educating is seen on it maternal point of view, playing is habitual divest of the educational actions and child ́s care is presented as being activities just of the auxiliaries. We verified at the Kindergarten a considerable number of observations of the educational practice with small adult's engagement. We see the importance of a fomentation of the relations between adults and child that propitiate significant learning. Through the education, the population will be able to have a critical point of view not have a subservient position on the public mechanisms, besides to monitor, to evaluate and to fight for their rights.
