This paper aims to know and discuss the cultural experiences provided to Early Childhood Education children of the Municipal Schooling of Maceió, State of Alagoas, from the relation with the cultural equipment. It is started from the comprehension of childhood as plural and dynamic category, placed in history and culture, and the child as an individual with rights, a potent subject, imaginative, competent and capable. The research aimed to establish a dialogue with studies produced in fields such as childhood, culture, cultural equipment, and cultural formation. So, it was necessary to understand that speaking about culture implies the recognition that this term is full of multiple meanings. The concept of cultural equipment is approached beyond the perspective that defines it as physical and material installation and it is also treated as a collective, or as a circle of people that produce and express culture in different ways. Therefore, they equally contribute to the culture dissemination, to identities production, and to belonging feelings. By taking a look at the literature, which handles the cultural formation of young children from the mediation of the Early Childhood Educational Institution in dialogue with cultural institutions, it was possible to confirm the lack of studies regarding this topic in Alagoas State and Maceió municipality. However, it was also confirmed to be a national gap. The cultural formation is understood as endless, as permanent dialogue and exchange, which are built-in daily re/encounters with collective or individual experiences and repertoires. It is regarded to sense education, which experiences compete to refine and to sharpen the visioning, the listening and, thus, the self, the other and the world perceptions. The study is qualitative, performed through field research, by means of interviewing cultural equipment professionals, such as teachers, directors and pedagogic coordinators of Maceió’s Early Childhood Education Centers (CMEIs), as well as technicians of SEMED s, which actuate with continuing teacher education. In addition, it was adopted documental research, field diary, photographic records of the cultural equipment and notes of the field s journal. The reflection around the cultural formation is based on theoretical perspectives from Adorno, Vigotski, Teixeira Coelho, Nogueira, Carvalho, Chauí, Freire, Ostetto and Leite, among others. The investigation results attest that the discrepancies between children from Early Childhood Education and cultural equipament in Maceióoccur because of a fragile articulation between the different public organs responsible for the educational and cultural actions in the City. It was verified that the conception of cultural formation present in the surveyed CMEIs is marked for the valorization of popular traditions in Alagoas. Therefore, the cultural experiences of young children are predominantly accompanied by the presence of mirth. Those overlap the experiences of visiting cultural institutions, such as museums, theatres, cinemas, public libraries, etc.
