This study aims to analyze the ideas on education of children in Revista Infancia. This magazine was published between the years 1935 and 1937 by Cruzada Pró-Infância, in São Paulo. During the three years 18 issues of the magazine were published, all these make up the material studied. The founders of Cruzada Pró-Infância were ladies of the Paulista elite led by Pearl Byington and Maria Antonieta de Castro. To perform the analysis of this material was used descriptive analytic method. It was found that the published material is in the area of non-formal education and three categories of analysis were created, namely, Education for Citizenship, Education for Society and Health Education. Health Education was the main topic discussed in magazine, which can be attributed to the fact that the medical hygienist permeated the 1920s and 1930s in Brazil and especially in São Paulo. Among these themes stand out hygiene, childcare and infant feeding. Regarding other categories - Education for Citizenship, Education for Society - the emphasis was the importance of education for the country's future and the roles to be played by individuals in society, reinforcing the thesis of a nationalist discourse. The analysis of the items included in each category revealed that the texts were published in the journal Infancia were a portrait of paulistana society of the time and reflected the concerns present in children's education.
