The research topic arises from the problem: What are the perceptions of teachers about the development of self-esteem in the psychomotor activities of 3-year-old children from a private educational institution in Lima Metropolitana? To respond to this, the study is applied to three nursery education teachers from a private educational institution in Lima Metropolitana, with the general objective of analyzing teacher perceptions of psychomotor activities in the development of self-esteem and the specific objectives of identifying the motor activities that the teacher uses to promote the construction of self-esteem in 3-year-old children and describe the perceptions of teachers about psychomotor activities in children in the 3-year-old classroom.
