Through an ethnographic research in a Kindergarten, this paper aims tostudy the pedagogical axes that cross the body in its moments of hygiene and other moments of institutional routine towards children education. The results show discourses and actions concerning the culture of an "aseptic childhood", already present in the hygienic conceptions of the XIX Century. The stations of institutional routine are conformed by actions and strategies aimed at hygiene, health and "life quality". Such discourses and practices are amongst a set of norms working as a pedagogic arm of the biopolitics acting in the constitution of a nude life.
