and settings for young children, discussing practices and conceptions in different countries. This study
approaches early childhood education and care practices as local, historical and social constructions linked to
global trends and commitments to children’s well-being. This paper presents qualitative case analysis on
discursive practices and mediational tools used in daily activities with children under three years of age.The
focus is on cultural conceptions embedded in the educational activities with cases from Brazil and Finland. The
analysis builds on the major themes and conceptions embedded in the practices as instructional strategies,
discipline and children’s participation. Differences between these cases were due either to economic or cultural
ideological aspects that constrained educators’ activities. In both cases, educators’ challenge was to coordinate
the actions of the group while individuality was diversely valued. Despite the strong role of the educator, in the

was privileged. Actions and tensions carried discursive practices constrained by cultural issues.
