Summary/Abstract: The article explores the management of preschool groups from an interdisciplinary perspective, integrating pedagogical, psychological and organizational approaches. The conceptual delimitations and major theoretical foundations are analyzed, including ecological theory, attachment theory, constructivist perspective and socio-emotional learning programs. Relevant educational practices are also presented, such as organizing the environment into thematic centers, establishing positive rules and routines, proactive teaching of behavior and the use of logical consequences. The article highlights the importance of continuous observation and evaluation, individualization of education and collaboration with the family and community, demonstrating through empirical evidence the significant impact on the socio-emotional, cognitive and academic development of children. The critical analysis emphasizes the need for an integrative, culturally adapted approach that combines structure and freedom, prevention and inclusion. The general conclusion is that effective preschool group management is a central element of early education, playing a decisive role in preparing children for academic and social success.
