description The research investigates how teachers who work in Early Childhood Education in Porto de Moz - PA think about their pedagogical practices and children's learning in the face of the problem of overcrowding in preschool classes. It aims to identify the factors that cause overcrowding in preschool classrooms and their implications for children's learning; as well as examining the difficulties that teachers face in their practices in overcrowded classes. This is a qualitative exploratory study developed in a public school in Porto de Moz-PA, from November to December 2021, through the application of a semi-structured questionnaire directed at three teachers of Early Childhood Education. The results indicate that the overcrowding of classes harms the child's development by not allowing recreational activities, aspects that affect the quality of the teachers' pedagogical work; Also noteworthy is the lack of investment in building more schools in the city, the inadequacy of the physical structure and the lack of support from municipal management, the Municipal Secretary of Education with the education of children and the work of teachers.
