In Brazil Children’s Education in the country-side is designed as a right of the child and the family. However, studies about the actual schooling, which can support public policies, are scarce. The paper presents and discusses data from a qualitative survey, conducted in 13 rural schools in a municipality of Minas Gerais, Brazil, aimed at investigating Children’s Schooling through interviews with management. Data were analyzed qualitatively and systemized in the main themes: 1) physical structure and functioning of the institutions; 2) family characteristics and relationship with the schools; 3) teacher training. Through the study we identified the existence of unmet demand by families for day-care centers and pre-schools; inequalities in the supply, which is more restricted for children age 0-3; and precariousness related to the school structure and teacher training. Elements to be considered for improvement of schooling were detected.
