Materials and methods: Quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test research of educational interventions. The universe was made up of 143 preschool representatives, the intended sample was 86 people, and the instrument was a questionnaire made up of items of dichotomous responses that were administered to the representatives before and after the educational intervention.
