In the survey process Productions scientific registered in the database of theses and dissertations of CAPES, started by the broader search term Childhood, we passed the childhood education and got to the term more inclusive Creche, deepening focus of our research. The option to critically analyze the Creche is linked to the need to rescue the concomitant production to the historical moment in which the municipal government of the city of Rio de Janeiro officially transferred nurseries before under the management of the Municipal Social Development - SMDS to the City Department of Education - SME. The importance of this study is not only the information gathered (quantitative aspect), but in the diagnosis of early childhood education found in these studies, particularly the Creche, which reveal the specific (qualitative aspect) of this field. The survey adopts the methodological procedures that are part of a literature review and other specific instruments are used as the conceptual map aimed to critically analyze the texts. In this direction, we present the topics of greatest interest to researchers, their goals, their methods, tools and results that influence new research and teaching doings. We use as theoretical research, renowned authors who have emerged from these studies the field of childhood, such as: Rosemberg (1984); Kuhlmann (1988); Kramer, (1987); Vasconcellos (2003; 2005; 2008; 2015); Aquino (2008); Ribes (2012) Fields (2012); Guimaraes (2008); Frangella (2006); Corsino (2003); Rossetti-Ferreira (2005), among others. From the analysis of corpus consists of 67 theses and dissertations, emerged the themes characterizing the specific features of each field. The research reveals that there is a growth of methodological options that have taken older children (over 5 years) as protagonists of research. The training of professionals working with infants and children has also been the most frequent subject of studies on childhood education. Finally, in the works that deal with the Creche this topic also assumes the centrality of research. The search for family day care approach and emerges as one of the peculiarities of the actions of this educational context. With this study, we aim to contribute to the strengthening of this research field in the UERJ and the construction of educational quality practices for Early Childhood Education in space pubic municipal kindergartens
