This paper focuses on reconstructing the conformation of the nursery school system in Chile between the years 1905 and 1915 and its consequences for feminine teachers. It will investigate from a gender perspective the type of formation of the nursery school teacher and the consequences for such subsequent development at this level. Furthermore, it will explain what the intentions to generate a public kindergarten in Santiago were, and if it is lacking compulsory education for primary school. For this essay, we consulted sources such as the educational magazine "El kindergarten Nacional" as well as Congressional Proceedings.The First Kindergarten will have two purposes: welfare and education. The aforementioned duality of the program marks the development of the system and will condition the teachers that work in this level. However, along with these changes, the nursery teachers are concerned to pass on the ideals of the Modern State to reference a motherland and nation.
