Abstract
La educación integral en los primeros años de vida es importante para el desarrollo holístico de los niños, ya que fomenta no solo las habilidades académicas, sino también el crecimiento emocional, social y físico. La implementación de métodos como Montessori refuerza estos principios, proporcionando un entorno enriquecedor y centrado en el niño. Es por ello que la presente investigación tuvo como objetivo diseñar un estudio de factibilidad para la creación de un Centro de Desarrollo Infantil Integral para niños hasta 4 años de edad, Ibarra, Imbabura. El presente estudio se enmarca dentro del tipo de investigación aplicada donde la población de estudio en este proyecto de investigación está compuesta por la población económicamente activa de la ciudad de Ibarra de 63.984 habitantes, tomando una muestra de 383 personas. Como técnica de investigación se utilizó la encuesta, la cual fue realizada a los padres de familia y/o representantes legales de los niños de la ciudad de Ibarra para evaluar la demanda potencial y la revisión documental para analizar las regulaciones, normativas y estudios relacionados con el Centro de Desarrollo Infantil. Los resultados indican que la prioridad en un CDI es la seguridad y supervisión adecuada y calidad de la educación preescolar, el horario preferido es 7:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m, a la vez, los servicios adicionales son considerados importantes y la mayoría de los encuestado estarían dispuestos a pagar entre 100 y 200 USD. La propuesta incluye un estudio de factibilidad a lo largo de un periodo de cinco años (2025-2029) del Centro de Desarrollo Integral “Pequeños Exploradores” el cual concluye que el proyecto es viable y factible, además de financieramente sólido, garantizando su éxito a largo plazo.
