Abstract
This article is an excerpt from a research that aims to analyze the displacements in the concept of childhood and its ways of educating it in contemporary curricular policies for the stage of Early Childhood Education. Towards this end, official documents that gain notoriety for this stage of Basic Education were analyzed: The National Curriculum Guidelines for Early Childhood Education - DCNEI (2009) and the Common National Curricular Base - BNCC (2017a). The realization of this research was based on the post-structuralist perspective, with the contributions of the author Michel Foucault, using government as an analytical tool and the notion of governmentality as an intelligibility grid. The analysis of the documents highlights the displacements in the understanding of a childhood of rights, in the DCNEI, to the notion of competent childhood, present in the BNCC.
