Abstract
Analyzing the challenges in building relationships in preschool education, key aspects were observed in the post-pandemic stage. The importance of identifying the need for both children and parents to know if they had everything necessary to create healthy relationships in the preschool stage, a crucial stage for the development of every person’s life, was emphasized. The “Positive Connections” program was designed with the aim of helping children overcome the effects of prolonged isolation they experienced. This program included structured activities that encouraged interaction among children and provided a safe space for them to share their emotions and experiences. Inclusive teaching strategies were implemented, celebrating diversity and ensuring that all children had the opportunity to participate and develop social skills. Technology was also used in a balanced manner, with the incorporation of digital tools to facilitate connection among children and promote virtual activities, complemented by face-to-face interactions and practical experiences in the classroom.
