The results indicate that male teachers are limited in their activity as it is not permitted to perform tasks proper to the profession as bathing and changing diapers, for fear of pedophilia is evident. Discussions suggest that few men opt for the teaching profession, due to be considered a female profession. In conclusion, it can be said that early childhood education should give children contact with adults who are their references, of both sexes, especially at school, place where they begin socializing outside the family. In this sense, it can be said that men can contribute positively to the process of education of children.
