Sumario:This paper analyses the different spaces in which daily life of the Nahua children of the Mesoamerican Central High Plateau took place, based on the revision of documentary source. It begins with an examination of quotidian life at home and in the domestic units. Afterwards, the paper analyses the children’s presence in places such as the market, the milpa, the mountain and the lake, where they learned the activities that they would have to perform in their adult life. Also, it briefly reflects on their presence in the temples of education; finally, additional places in which pre-hispanic childhood took place are considered.
