The reference population was 3,344 children aged 3 to 5 years living in three neighborhoods of the city of Cartagena. An instrument consisting of 3 sections was used for data collection: 1. Sociodemographic aspects, 2. Knowledge of early stimulation, 3. Practices on early stimulation. The forms were typed into a database according to the study variables. The chi-square analysis was 5%, and p values <0.05 were considered significant.Results: A sample size of 359 caregivers and parents of children was estimated, taking three first-level care centers in the city of Cartagena as reference. The caregivers were mothers (61.8%), aged 30 - 39 years (42.6%), living in a free union (42.6%), having technical/technological studies (44.8%), belonging to social-economical level (stratum) 1 (38.4%). Knowledge was regular (82.5%) and practices were good (82.5%). The practices were correlated with the age of the child (p: 0.012), age of the caregiver (p: 0.000) marital status (p: 0.000) (in Health Center 1), gender of the child (p: 0.049) (in Health Center 2), and origin of the child (p: 0.002) (in Health Center 3).Conclusions: Caregivers of children from 3 to 5 years old from 3 neighborhoods of Cartagena have regular knowledge and good practices regarding early stimulation. 2024 artículo científico 0120-5552 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=81782333008 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/817/81782333008/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/817/81782333008/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/817/81782333008/81782333008.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/817/81782333008/movil 10.14482/sun.40.02.005.852 es http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=817 Salud Uninorte application/pdf Universidad del Norte Salud Uninorte (Colombia) Num.2 Vol.40
