Based on the problem of wanting to analyze the challenges and possibilities found within the scope of school inclusion in early childhood education in the Colônia do Piaui, to understand how these schools can become free spaces for truly inclusive reception and training. With the general objective of investigating how the school inclusion of children with special needs occurs in early childhood education in the colony of Piauí.

Furthermore, it is a fundamental issue for the construction of an egalitarian and non-exclusive society.
