Numerous studies have addressed the family-school relationship, but few have considered that teachers' ways of relating to families incubate during their early training. Based on a qualitative study, this article describes the representations of fourteen teacher educators in undergraduate programs of elementary education. The teachers work in four Chilean universities and were studied with respect to the family, the family-school relationship, and their approach in early teacher education. The results show willingness to incorporate the topic of family-school relationships in the initial plans of study, mediated by a representation of the supremacy of schooling as an agent for modeling childhood education and defining the structure of the link between families and schools.
