• Abstract:

  The project presented aims to encourage the development of healthy eating habits among children aged 4 to 5, with a focus on early childhood education. Using the principles of the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) as a basis, the project involves the active participation of children in all stages of the process. Through an interactionist approach, inspired by the theories of Lev Vygotsky and Jean Piaget, weekly educational activities are carried out that include stories, educational videos, works by visual artists, theater, music, games and activities in the garden. The construction of a food wheel is one of the highlights of the project, promoting children's interest in healthy foods and raising awareness about balanced consumption. Furthermore, the fundamental role of the teacher in implementing educational policies stands out, ensuring the effectiveness of pedagogical practices and the integral development of children.
