Abstract

This study aims to examine the school of kindergarten as a possible environment "good enough", creating favorable conditions for the process of ripening the child and consequently learning. It has as reference propositions on the maternal school and the personal maturity theory developed by the English psychoanalyst and pediatrician Donald Woods Winnicott. He indicates that the maternal school has tasks in relation to emotional maturity, same as the mother. And must hold a job psicoprofilatic, contributing to the children s mental health, needed to achieve the individual status and allow his access to Culture. We note that the use of psychoanalysis in education, proposed by the author, allows us to go beyond "listens" psychotherapy, performing an intervention through the management of school issues, moving toward integration: the self, of the variety of children s environments and the individual relations with society. Having two pedagogical approaches underlying the schools as base, the constructive one and the non-constructive, been discussed if school of early childhood education can be in a "good enough" environment according to the theory of ripening and we suggest that some conditions need to be created regarding moving towards this direction
