Early childhood education practically do not have access to local cultural spaces, particularly because there are people who thinks that children does not have conditions to enjoy an art museum, an art gallery or spaces like this, in those it is necessary to have cognitive skills. The central point of this article is based on a few questions, such as: cultural mediation can instigate learning at childhood? What is the right way to introduce cultural mediation in formal and informal education spaces, keeping child, teacher and people who attend at museums as parts of this process? Our research wants to reflect about other ways of learning at childhood, outside of school walls, supported by cultural mediation. We will examinate the examples of two childhood schools and Museu Casa Fritz Alt. This article proposes an approach of the conceptual framework that will provide subsidies for the dialogue with field research taking bias as the qualitative aspect.
