ABSTRACT
Based on postcritical curriculum studies, the article aims to discuss how textbooks for daycare teachers operate from an epistemology of childhood. Such an epistemology is a rationality that works through the enunciation of an organicist perspective of human development. The analytical corpus consists of five books. Methodologically, a Foucauldian discourse analysis is performed, in which the technologies present in the books are mapped. It is inferred that the analyzed works have an impact on the regulation of teaching, through the epistemology of the child in question.
