This research explored how the Reggio Emilia pedagogy can foster basic social skills in 4- to 5-year-old children in the pre-kindergarten grade, addressing issues such as difficulty sharing, taking turns, and managing conflicts. With the aim of improving interaction and school coexistence, creative pedagogical experiences based on principles of cooperation, empathy, and emotional expression were designed and implemented. The workshops included group activities, role-playing games, and collaborative projects, such as the solutions traffic light and the creation of a green corner, which promoted mutual respect and joint reflection.  The results showed significant progress in skills such as sharing, problem-solving, and expressing emotions, although some children still faced persistent challenges in integration and frustration management. The research concluded that strategies based on meaningful and participatory experiences not only strengthen children's social skills but also create a more harmonious school environment, highlighting the importance of working on these skills from early childhood with constant support from both schools and families.
