The purpose of the text is to identify the foundations of the World Bank for Brazilian Early Childhood Education. The study of qualitative approach, had the bibliographical and documental research. The primary sources refer to documents from the Bank for Childhood and follow-up reports from the National Education Plan. Considering the managerial perspective adopted by the World Bank to guide Early Childhood Education policies, we identified cost-benefit notions and managerial quality as the main foundations of its guidelines. Such notions identify Early Childhood Education as a poverty alleviation mechanism, which must be offered without encumbering the State, therefore, the Bank suggests expanding the offer of this stage of Basic Education through public-private partnerships. The private sector is considered a quality reference, therefore, it would achieve more efficient effects for the education of poor children. Such fundamentals attribute to Early Childhood Education the purpose of managing the childhood of the future generation of workers to be exploited by capital.
