Starting from the context of the Portuguese child poverty situation, and recent investment in early childhood education, the need is highlighted for a “border-crossing pedagogy”. Drawing from key concepts such as, “relational agency”, “co-configuration” and “knotworking”, we question a “childcentred pedagogy” and we present the alternative role of a “border-crossing” pedagogy: we suggest the creation of polycentric spaces for children, of developing projects that are culturally and ethically relevant. We urge working on family involvement, and developing a new concept of early educators as “border-crossers”.
