In the educational field, the lack of activities focused on values has been a matter of concern in several countries, Ecuador is not alien to this problem, there is a lack of knowledge and lack of guides that promote the formation of this subject. Therefore, in search of a solution to this problem, the general objective was raised, which is to analyze the relationship between school activities that teachers develop with educational theories and processes focused on values.

In the first place, the Initial Education curriculum was analyzed and the skills that are related to the formation of values were found. Second, information was found on the values, their history, characteristics and concepts, from which those related to Early Childhood education were chosen. It was concluded that there is a relationship between the skills of 4 areas of the initial education curriculum where values such as respect, responsibility, honesty, friendship, solidarity, companionship and cooperation were found explicitly or implicitly. In addition, strategies were defined, for example: games, stories, dramatizations and songs that strengthen the formation of values at the kindergarten level.
