Résumé

This article aims to highlight the significance of yards located in rural areas, emphasizing their role as essential spaces in the daily lives of rural populations. These spaces are found not only around homes but also around schools and other rural institutions. Based on two master's theses conducted in the Cariri, region of Paraíba, the study explores yards as places of life, where rural Brazilian ways of living, particularly childhood experiences, come to the forefront. The reflections and discussions presented here are grounded in various academic studies that examine, among other topics, the cultural and social importance of these spaces. It is emphasized that yards are spaces actively inhabited and desired by children in rural properties, settlements, and communities, serving as a reference to the rural world. Finally, it is noted that this contrasts with the predominance of built spaces in urban centers. Although yards are linked to homes and present around early childhood education schools in rural areas, they are not always recognized as valuable pedagogical and community spaces.
