Abstract: Early childhood education required innovative strategies to enhance the comprehensive development of children, especially at the preparatory level. According to the Ministry of Education (2016), teachers had to implement methodologies that transcended the simple transmission of knowledge, focusing on linguistic and communicative skills. In this context, the theatrino was presented as an effective tool, integrating visual, auditory and kinesthetic elements to improve oral expression and social interaction. At the Carlos Cisneros Educational Unit, there was evidence of insufficient development of language skills in high school students, reflected in their lack of confidence in public speaking, difficulties in verbal communication and poor participation in class. This problem was attributed to traditional teaching methodologies, focused on memorization and theory, without encouraging experiential learning. The research was based on a quantitative approach with a sample of 132 students, determining that the theatrino facilitated linguistic learning through dramatization and storytelling. It was concluded that the use of the teatrino promoted the children's oral development, verbal fluency and social interaction. As a result, its implementation was proposed as a pedagogical strategy to improve the students' participation and linguistic performance, thus strengthening their communication both in the classroom and in their family environment.
