Para o Ensino Infantil, fica clara a preocupação dos pais com os aspectos relacionados à segurança e infraestrutura e localização. Talvez associando esta etapa da educação de seus filhos mais ao cuidado do que propriamente com seu desenvolvimento cognitivo ou humano.
Os especialistas e gestores reconhecem sua importância, mas têm uma percepção distante em relação à prioridade do aspecto “qualidade de ensino”, que apontam ser o primeiro fator de decisão e só aparece na nona posição na percepção dos pais.
Por último vale observar que os “Valores e Formação Humana” aparecem bem posicionados tanto para pais como para os gestores, mostrando ser um fator importante na tomada de decisão dos pais.

Regarding preschool education, it is clear the parents’ concern with aspects related to safety, infrastructure and localization. They probably associate this stage of their children education with care; not exactly with their cognitive or human development.
Experts and managers admit its importance, although they have a different perception regarding the priority for “quality of education”, which is pointed by them as the first decisive factor, but that ranks as ninth in the parents' perception.
And finally, it is worth considering that "Values and Human Development” rank high according to both parents and managers; shown as another important factor in the parents' decision making.

Bio
I've always enjoyed studying Portuguese at school, but I thought it was just because it was my mother tongue and it was easy for me. When I decided to learn English, I saw it was a taste for language in general - which manifested itself in my choice of a mathematics graduation, known as a universal language.

Definitions aside, I found my path to translation the same time I reviewed promotional texts in Portuguese. I worked at an advertising agency in the financial sector, and I took a course in translation and started making room for what I really enjoyed doing - working with languages.


Since then I have done translations mainly in engineering, education, tourism and sustainability. Among the clients served are Cataratas SA, Itaipu, Itaipu Technology Park, Best Western Hotels and Hoper Educação.
