This text is a preliminary study on the pedagogical action and teaching practice of Professor Matilde Huici, as a central inspirer of the Early Childhood Education career at the Universidad de Chile, during the years 1944 to 1962. To elaborate this work, 10 semi-structured interviews of students and teachers of those years were made and analyzed, elaborating in this way, the main lines of the academic action of Professor Huici. Using the mentioned way, we propose as a global hypothesis that the pedagogical action of this Spanish teacher in the Casa de Bello was characterized by: a marked anthropological ethical component, which was based on a clear application of the scientific method and on a powerful theoretical framework, with which she proposed a clear, innovative and public recognition to the educational potentialities of the initial childhood education.
