This theoretical essay problematizes the capture of play in contemporary neoliberal early childhood education schools. To do so, it draws on studies from Pedagogy and Philosophy of Education to consider the relationship between play in early childhood education and the equipment of a dignified life. It is argued that a dignified life would involve a life capable of mourning, based on the studies of J. Butler; the ways in which one is received in the world today, drawing from the studies of H. Arendt; and an examined life, as envisioned by the figures of Socrates and Seneca as taken up by Foucault. With this composition, a dignified life is considered in light of Foucault's concept of care for the self, without individual culpabilization or neoliberal self-responsibilization for successes and failures, to think about the relationship between early childhood education, play, and idleness in the constitution of the concept of play-idleness.
Keywords: play; kindergarten; dignified life.
