This article analyzes some dialogues by Paulo Freire about being a child, considering childhood as an ontological category expressed in his conception of being in the world. It highlights some principles for the field of Early Childhood Education studies, notably those with an emphasis on the issues of otherness, curiosity and care. It questions possible epistemological implications of the concept of being in the world, in Freire’s dialogues, as a premise for the constitution of intersubjectivity in Childhood Pedagogies. It aims to examine Freire’s reflections about his own childhood as a perspective to consider social insertion and the processes of constituting the consciousness of our humanity, assuming that the singularity present in Freire’s autobiographical narrative inspires the appreciation of other singularities present in the childhood of each child who, with their backyards and also their non-backyards, are beings in the world in a transformation process.
