<p>Gender identity is the internal and individual experience of gender, as each person feels it, and is part of the construction and cognitive, emotional and social development of the human being. The right to identity is the first fundamental right, inherent to all persons by the mere fact of their existence, and is the basis for the exercise of other rights. Identity includes a person's name, surname, date of birth, sex/gender and nationality. Gender identity is part of the right to identity, but do the Colombian educational system and the Curricular Bases for Early Childhood and Preschool Education address all the needs for the healthy development of gender identity? To understand this situation, the guidelines of the Ministry of National Education regarding this key component of the integral development of children were analyzed in depth and information was collected directly from the population in ownership. From the data collected, we obtained the inexistence of an adequate curricular plan that guides teachers in the integral development of gender identity in early childhood in the school environment.</p>
