The research was conducted at a preschool in Arraias-TO and aimed to analyze the importance of family participation during the schooling process of children and to make schools aware of the role they play in building this partnership. The research was conducted by means of a qualitative approach, with field research, from the interview with the principal of the institution, the pedagogical coordinator and a teacher and the application of questionnaires with the families, as well as direct observation of the school daily life. This made it possible to understand that the family and the school should establish partnerships, seeking strategies that will meet the needs experienced in this context. The study was based on Marcolan (2004), Sousa (2009), Carvalho (1983), Ariès (2006), Godoy (1995), Nogueira (2010), among other authors who discuss about the subject. All with one goal for a quality education that enables social transformation, a fundamental condition for an approximation between family and school. Thus, the greater the family participation, the more effective the work done by the school. The research made us understand that there is no formula for realizing the relationship between family and school, since each family, each school, lives a different reality. In this sense, the interaction between family and school is necessary so that both are aware of their peculiarities and establish a relationship of dialogue, seeking ways to consolidate this partnership.
