This research, entitled “The look of Complex Thinking in childhood: the voice thread of
teachers of children aged zero to three years old about creativity in times of the COVID-19
pandemic”, aims, in general, to analyze how teachers of children from zero to three years of
age have noticed signs of creativity in their pedagogical practices, in the face of the Covid-19
pandemic scenario; specifically, it aims to know the perceptions of teachers regarding the
concept of creativity, identify evidence of creativity in the pedagogical practices developed
and demonstrate evidence that teachers build creative situations in times of pandemic. Thus,
the following question arises: how have teachers of children from zero to three years old
noticed signs of creativity in their pedagogical practices? For possible answers, the
methodology used has a quantitative and qualitative approach, being a case study at the
Municipal Center for Early Childhood Education Colar da Alegria, in the city of
Dianópolis/TO, whose research subjects are the teachers, management team and children's
mothers regularly enrolled in the 2021 school year. With theoretical foundations from Edgar
Morin (2015) and Saturnino de La Torre (2005), among others, the Instrument for Valuing the
Creative Development of Educational Institutions (VADECRIE) was applied, as well as an
interview, in addition to direct observation techniques and document analysis. Once the
analyzes were carried out, it was identified that the teachers' perceptions are close to the
concept of creativity highlighted by Torre (2012b) and, through the answers to the
questionnaire and the interviews, it was verified that there are signs of creativity in their
pedagogical practices, Therefore, there are creative pedagogical practices at the Centro
Municipal de Educação Infantil Colar da Alegria, highlighting the relevance of an education
that values the child as a subject-protagonist of the learning process and, thus, stimulating
their physical, affective, social and cognitive development
