Abstract

ESCUDERO, Jaime Caiceo. Maria Victoria Peralta. Her commitment to kindergarten education in Chile and Latin America. Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2021, vol.20, e009.  Epub Jan 29, 2022. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v20-2021-9.

Chile has coverage of its entire school system -basic and a half- but not so of kindergarten, reaching only 50%. The state founded the first public kindergarten only in 1906. Its greatest development, however, has been in the last 50 years, thanks to the creation of two public bodies: JUNJI and INTEGRA. In the last time, Maria Victoria Peralta Espinosa has played an important role in the pursuit of kindergarten education, becoming an important figure at this educational level, both in Chile and Latin America. It is intended to reconstitute her biography and describe her educational action in the way of the rights that female mother has with her children with regard to her teaching from the earliest childhood, in order to achieve full coverage of this educational sector.

Keywords : Kindergarten; Infant education formation; Public Policy; Early childhood coverage.
