Resumen

Menos del 30% de la población en Colombia está de acuerdo con que las parejas del mismo sexo adopten. Este clima de rechazo trae interrogantes sobre las experiencias de las familias homoparentales existentes en el país. Debido a la importancia de los años preescolares para el desarrollo de niños y niñas, este estudio tuvo como objetivo describir las actitudes, percepciones y prácticas de 53 docentes de prescolar en Bogotá con relación al trabajo con familias homoparentales. El análisis de las encuestas revela actitudes caracterizadas por preocupación ante la potencial victimización a la que pueden estar expuestos los hijos de estas familias. Así mismo, se encontró que los docentes, si bien afirman sentirse competentes, reconocen que con baja frecuencia implementan estrategias para construir climas escolares incluyentes. Los resultados permiten recomendar el desarrollo de iniciativas de formación para docentes para que, desde los primeros años de educación formal, los miembros de familias homoparentales cuenten con entornos afirmativos de la diversidad.
