“…In terms of educational or learning support, prior to the pandemic, play was prioritized before schoolwork, with the goal of improving language skills, but with limited participation of mothers due to work occupations. These mothers' decisions are similar to the study by (Navarro-Cruz, 2023), where it was found that Latina mothers preferred to combine activities such as companionship, school care, and work, prioritizing the latter activity. Regarding this, (Mayorga Peñaloza et al, 2019) mentions that the accompaniment of families in learning is being affected because parents work and delegate responsibilities to relatives or caregivers.…”

The objective of the study was to analyze the role of mothers in preschool education before and after the pandemic. The design used was descriptive-comparative with a qualitative approach. Nine mothers of preschool children from two public educational institutions in Lima-Peru participated. The verbal data was collected through in-depth interviews. Four subcategories were found: support in homework, support in learning activities, expectations and concerns, needs in terms of resources and forms of communication. In conclusion, before the pandemic, education was primarily teacher-centered. Currently, due to the lack of psychomotor, socioemotional, and communicative development caused by the pandemic, mothers are more involved and understand that the roles of parents and teachers are shared to ensure children's learning.
