SamenvattingFor children in the rural areas of northeast Brazil, the transition to school is context-specific. Unlike their counterparts in towns and cities, rural children tend to be well-acquainted with their teachers,
school director and the school premises. This familiarity is largely due to the fact that the majority of teachers live in the local community. Teachers tend to be their pupils’ neighbours and are wellknown to the children’s parents. In practice, however, children from rural areas face a series of challenges related to the current structure and institutional culture of the school. The Parques Infantis programme is one of the first transitional experiences of poor rural children (3–6 years old) in the region. It is designed as a developmental learning experience, able to support and prepare children for their transition to school life.
