The findings obtained through the triangulation of sources and methodological made it possible to verify that the curriculum (formal and operational) for initial education in EI is characterized by being planned, consensual, participatory, integrated, flexible, taking into account the characteristics and particularities of children and the context where it is implemented. It is developed through an intentional teaching-learning process. It is evaluated in a continuous, integral, systematic, flexible and formative way. When evaluating the curriculum in initial education, in the context studied, it is noted that, in general, it meets the criteria addressed by UNESCO, UNICEF, Gervilla (2006), Fujimoto (2001), and the MEN.
