Public policies and democratic management are the focus of this dissertation that is situated in the field of early childhood education. This research aims to investigate the democratization of the school through participatory management. To that end, we opted for analytical approaches based on different theoretical perspectives in order to interpret issues related to political issues, especially educational policy. From the meta-research (Mainardes; Tello, 2016), our interest is to establish a relationship between theory, data and methodological procedures. For the analysis of the political context we will rely on Ball's benchmark; Mainardes (2011) and the proposition of the Policy Cycle. With regard to financing policies, we will have as theoretical reference the work of Dourado (2006, 2009, 2010). The concept of democratic management that we operate builds in the dialogue with Paro (2001, 2007; 2008). Field data analysis is based on the work of Campos (2010; 2012), exploring the reflections and the relationships between quality parameters and funding for early childhood education. The empirical field is located in two institutions of early childhood education in the city of Rio de Janeiro, located in the 9th Regional Coordination of Education. Collective interviews will be held (KRAMER, 2003) with the representatives of the school community that are part of the Community School Council of the institutions researched. In this research we seek to articulate the theory proposed by Ball (2011) and Paro (2007) theoretical reference to the practice and discourses that emerged in field research, exercising the researcher's critical-reflexive movement.
