It reflects on spirituality based on care in educational care for children and adolescents in hospitals, based on the assumption that, given the recognition of everyone's right to education, the need to understand the different teaching modalities established as expression of the right to learning and schooling. Thus, this research focuses on spirituality and its relevance in educational care for children and adolescents/students/patients who are hospitalized for cancer treatment. Firstly, education as a right for all was discussed, seeking to promote reflections on educational care in hospitals in the state of Espírito Santo. Then, the intention was to conceptualize spirituality as one of the dimensions present in human formation, questioning its relevance from the aspect of care, in the pedagogical practice and in the clinical recovery of these students/patients. Therefore, this study was anchored in the perspective of the spirituality of care, in the approach of the contemporary philosopher and theorist, Leonardo Boff. After the theoretical foundation, the research field, methodology, location, subjects, data collection and analysis were presented. Next, an exploratory and field research, of a qualitative nature, was carried out, involving two professionals with experience in a hospital environment (the administrative coordinator of the hospital class at HINSG and the teacher who worked in the hospital class located at Acacci), using as data collection instruments, semi-structured interviews and questionnaires, aiming to gather information about the conceptions and perceptions of these subjects about their performance in this peculiar space. The results achieved in the light of the relevant literature and field research demonstrate the evidence of care, as a relevant aspect of spirituality in this space, and its contribution to the integral education of students. As a product of the professional master's research, a documentary entitled "The perspective of care in the hospital class" was developed, with the aim of disseminating information about the aspect of care to professionals in the multidisciplinary area who work in hospital classes, with a view to development of their practices.
