Child sexual abuse persists as a critical issue in both school and family settings, highlighting the urgent need to implement preventive strategies from early childhood. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of storytelling as an educational resource to strengthen the prevention of sexual abuse in children aged 4 to 5 years at the La Pradera Municipal Primary School. The research was conducted using a qualitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, using surveys aimed at parents and a questionnaire adapted for children as data collection instruments. Initial results showed that 83% of children had a low level of knowledge about prevention. After implementing a guide of activities based on stories, the percentage of children with a high level of knowledge increased to 45%.
