The research entitled "Pluriversal Reflections on Early Childhood Education in the BNCC: the 'echo' of diversity and respect for differences in the Learning Objectives and Fields of Experience" seeks to answer the following central question: Is the Pluriversality of Brazilian children included in the National Common Curricular Base for Early Childhood Education? In this way, it aims to explore whether - and in what way - the Pluriversality of Brazilian children is exposed in the BNCC-Educação Infantil. This objective is broken down into the following specific objectives: a) to review the scientific knowledge associated with Pluriversality in the educational field; b) to identify the Pluriversality present (or absent) in the discourse of the BNCC-Early Childhood Education and c) to reflect on pluriversal aspects, challenges and possibilities in Early Childhood Education beyond the BNCC. This research, linked to the Postgraduate Program in Education (PPGE) of the Federal University of Alagoas, in the research line "Education, Cultures and Curricula", is inserted in and dialogues with the productions of the Group of Studies and Research in Pedagogies and Cultures of Children (GEPPECI), especially with regard to investigations into the images of children in educational policies - with a focus on curricular policies - and their possible implications for teaching and educational practices. To achieve this, under a qualitative research parameter (Yin, 2016), its methodological outline involves a Systematic Literature Review (Brizola; Fantin, 2016) and Thematic Analysis (Braun; Clarke, 2006) for an investigative continuum that points to the inevitability of critically deepening studies on the curriculum regulations in question and their developments that directly and indirectly impact black children and their trajectories in their educational processes.The partial results indicate that pluriversal reflections are fundamental for a critical reading of the National Common Core Curriculum for Early Childhood Education, given that this concept allows us to confront what is proposed in the document, uncovering universalizing discourses and their meanings imbued in the document. With this thesis, we hope to contribute to thinking about other possible paths and alternatives from the perspective of an anti-racist education that considers all children - and each one of them - from the time they are babies.
