This document seeks to demonstrate the need to address the educational context of preschool education from the dynamics of Early Childhood Education and Psychology, two areas of training and knowledge of the Minuto de Dios University Corporation. A qualitative case study type design was proposed from the perspective of educational action research working with two preschool grades, one in a public context and the other in a private context. In the initial identification phase, a contextualization of the trends in literature and natural sciences in early childhood education was carried out based on a documentary review; in the phase of recognition based on the discovery and analysis of the facts, the The Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS) instrument was applied to evaluate the level of emotional support provided by the teachers to their students during the teaching process. Finally, in the formulation phase of the general plan, didactic strategies for the development and promotion of literature and the teaching of natural sciences in early childhood education were proposed.
