En el presente artículo se analizan los diferentes espacios donde transcurría la vida cotidiana de niñas y niños nahuas del Altiplano Central mesoamericano, a partir de fuentes documentales. Se inicia con el análisis de la vida cotidiana en las casas y las unidades domésticas. Posteriormente, se estudia su presencia en lugares como el mercado, la milpa, el monte y la laguna, sitios en donde mediante su participación en las labores económicas, iban aprendiendo las actividades que tendrían que desempeñar en su vida adulta. De igual forma, se presenta brevemente su paso por los templos de educación; y finalmente se proponen otros lugares en donde se desenvolvía la niñez prehispánica. Este artigo analisa os diferentes espaços onde as crianças nahuas do Planalto Central Mesoamericano viviam seu cotidiano, com base em fontes documentais. Começa com uma análise da vida cotidiana em lares e unidades domésticas. Em seguida, examina sua presença em lugares como o mercado, o milharal, a floresta e a lagoa, locais onde, por meio de sua participação no trabalho econômico, aprendiam as atividades que desempenhariam na vida adulta. Seu tempo em centros educacionais também é brevemente apresentado; e, por fim, são propostos outros lugares onde se desenvolveu a infância pré-hispânica.
