    Currently, early childhood education seeks to offer inclusive learning experiences that connect learning with the child's world. In this context, the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) approach is presented as an innovative proposal that articulates different disciplines to strengthen cognitive, socio-emotional, and imaginative skills. This research article is the result of a study that aimed to strengthen pedagogical practices in early childhood education in a public institution in the District of Cartagena, Colombia, through the implementation of the STEAM approach. Promoting the comprehensive development of children through play, creativity, exploration of the environment and problem solving. A qualitative methodology with a pedagogical action research design was used, in which the teacher acts as an active mediator. The activities were organised into projects with playful challenges, using natural, recycled, technological and artistic materials to stimulate sensory exploration and knowledge construction in a natural way. Collaborative work and family participation were encouraged. The results showed progress in logical thinking, observation, creativity, and problem solving. On a socio-emotional level, there was evidence of greater confidence, curiosity, and communication skills. Overall, the STEAM approach boosted motivation to learn, transforming meaningfully.
