The research focused on coexistence and school peace as part of a scientific project framed within the quality of early childhood education. The experience aimed to contribute to the establishment of a culture of peace through the execution of a psychoeducational program in the child population of the department of La Guajira. The study was conducted with a mixed descriptive approach, based on an action-research design. The results suggest that the implementation of recreational activities and the establishment of pleasant and safe environments promote harmonious coexistence, encourage dialogue in peacebuilding, and reaffirm values. Furthermore, the study revealed that through psychoeducational resources, constructive experiences are generated that allow children and their educators to resolve conflicts peacefully, which strengthened educational communication and contributed to mitigating violence.
