This research aim to analyze how the early childhood education professionals in the city of Guarulhos/SP conceive the space of continuing education “Programa Mesa Educadora para a Primeira Infância” (known as “Mesa Educadora” – [ME]), in their constitution as educators of this step of teaching and, based on that, to understand the impacts of this program on the education of these professionals. To this end, we developed a field research involving interviews with five educators (teacher, pedagogical coordinator, vice director, director and cook) in the perspective of oral history. We have chosen, as one of the central concerns, the search for understanding of how that space can make difference in ludic education, and how it can help in the apprehension of the themes about early childhood education in the school routine and the relationship of the educators with the ludic. The results indicate that the participants of the research consider the “Mesa Educadora” a program relevant to the professional education, recognizing his value as a proposal for an approchement between theory and practice through sharing of experiences and the experience and knowledge of ludic practices, in order to play as a children social activity.
