SUMMARY: The effectiveness of a quasi-experimental design-based sex educational program for day-care center children is evaluated. An educational influence system is applied to an experimental group comprised of "Sonrisas Infantiles" day-care center pre-school children. The initial and final knowledge of the above-mentioned group and the control group from "Sueños de Rosa" day care center are assessed. Both day care centers are located in Sancti Spiritus municipality but in different health areas. The total sample covered 71 children of both sexes, 22 activities were carried out and a set of 10 tests for qualitatively measuring the pre-school children's knowledge on human body, sexual identification and reproduction was prepared. The project effectiveness is proved by the significant differences in correct answers between the experimental group and the control group at the end of the experiment

Keywords : SEX EDUCATION; CHILD DAY CARE CENTERS.
