Method: Quantitative, descriptive research with 283 caregivers of early childhood children in a CDI child development center in Sincelejo, using instruments such as a sociodemographic questionnaire and a questionnaire on 14 care and upbringing practices proposed by the Colombian Institute of Family Welfare ICBF (2021). Results: Caregivers made a significant accompaniment in the health and nutrition component, as well as in the psycho-pedagogical component (75%), however, about 25% of caregivers at an average level complied with the practices of both components. Conclusion: During a health emergency, the practices to guarantee the integral development of early childhood children are complied with.
