Children's theater workshops enhance the development of spatial notions in early childhood education children. This study aimed to evaluate the contribution of children's theater workshops to the development of spatial notions in early childhood education children during the 2023 academic year. A pre-experimental design was used with pre- and post-intervention measurements and longitudinal follow-up at two points. The sample consisted of 26 five-year-old children. The results showed significant improvements (p < 0.001) in all spatial notions assessed, with average increases between +5.75 and +6.75 points. The Wilcoxon test confirmed significant increases in dimension, directionality, position, and orientation, with moderate to large effect sizes (r = 0.61-0.67). It is concluded that theater workshops are an effective strategy for enhancing spatial skills in early childhood education, contributing to children's holistic development.
