Popis: This chapter describes and interprets the culture of teaching that formed inside Jardim de Infância da Escola Caetano Campos (1896–1930) in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The Jardim was the first public kindergarten in Brazil and was affiliated with the normal school. To understand how teaching was carried out in the kindergarten, we try to understand how teachers were prepared in the normal school. Its teachers produced practical and theoretical materials for teachers and students, thereby galvanising early twentieth-century educational debates in Brazil. The kindergarten brought what was considered the best in the world to the fresh Brazilian republic. We discuss the shift from what was considered modern education towards progressive education in Brazil. In doing so, we focus on the traces of pedagogical practices present in logbooks and in the magazine Revista do Jardim da Infância produced by the kindergarten.
