In Ecuador, early education is relatively new and since 2014 with the approval and publication of the Early Education Curriculum organized by axes and areas of development and learning, it seeks the development of skills by age with the application of learning experiences and play work where play and art are a fundamental part of it. This article is based on the review of literature on Montessori experiences in children from 3 to 5 years old in Ecuador; for its development, 25 bibliographic sources on Montessori methodology and practical proposals applied in early education in Ecuador were reviewed; in addition, grade projects and institutional educational projects were analyzed under the approach of the theoretical, scientific and pedagogical bases that support the applicability of this methodology. It is concluded that the Montessori methodology remains active in Ecuadorian early education and it is part of the teaching and learning process directly or indirectly, with the application of materials, organization of the physical space, role of educators and sensory development from experience.
