Precocious Education has sought to reach visibility that considers the development of children and allows people to think and reflect, at a procedural and pedagogical level, about its importance and how much it is necessary for children with or without specificities and for their main caregivers. Some questions are important, among them: how do the main caregivers and pedagogues perceive the importance of the activities promoted in the context of the program for the development of the children served? How can these experiences contribute, or not, to the engagement of the main caregivers and to the social visibility of the program? How can these experiences expand, in the social sphere, the understanding of Precocious Education and its importance in the context of development and learning? Based on these initial questions, we sought to understand the possible contributions of Precocious Education to Child Development, based on the experiences of main caregivers and pedagogues participating in a specific program of Precocious Education in the Federal District. For this, a qualitative approach and phenomenological research was carried out, having as theoreticalmethodological foundation the bioecological model of Urie Bronfenbrenner, which emphasizes human development as a contextualized process. As an instrument for building the information, semi-structured interviews were carried out and two reports on the development of the participating children were analyzed. The results indicate that the program still needs greater visibility, requiring more disclosure and guidance on the program and its operation. Although being a current and comprehensive topic, there is little research on the subject. Therefore, we seek to broaden the discussion to encourage that other works on the Precocious Education Program can be produced and published.
