The child health care line is a priority whose structuring axis is the monitoring of growth and development and assistance is based on the promotion of health, prevention, early diagnosis and recovery of health problems. This work had the objective of reporting the experience in the follow up of activities developed in a school in the city of Maceió, Alagoas. This is a descriptive study, a type of experience report about actions directed at children's health, involving the following topics: growth and development monitoring, immunization and health education activities. The anthropometric measurements of each child were performed. Of the 24 children, measured and weighed, 8 were overweight and 3 were obese. When evaluating the completion of the children's health records, only 9 caregivers responded to the requests and only one was adequately filled. Children aged 0-6 years were evaluated for development using the Denver II screening scale. This was applied in 21 children, with a delay in the development of three. In view of this result, physiotherapeutic interventions were performed in the school itself and, after three months of follow-up, showed a significant improvement in all domains of the scale.
