Abstract

As a result of the pandemic caused by Covid-19, schools were closed in Peru and the possibilities of experiential learning and socialization in children were reduced. This research investigates the perceptions of preschool teachers about this problem, from a qualitative approach and through a questionnaire carried out to 54 participants of two Local Educational Management Units of Lima Provinces. Considering that at preschool children learn through play, observation, free exploration and interactions with their peers, the results show that by limiting these activities to distance education, children’s learning and socialization has been affected, as well as their progression in different areas of development.
