  La psicomotricidad se presenta como un tema de indudable relevancia dentro de las escuelas. Los estudios previos ponen de manifiesto las deficiencias en relación a la psicomotricidad, tanto en la formación del profesorado como en los espacios y materiales destinados para ella. El objetivo del estudio es analizar los espacios y equipamientos que presentan los centros educativos de Ávila (Castilla y León) para el trabajo de Educación Física (en adelante, EF) en Educación –Infantil (en adelante, EI). Todas las variables del estudio son registradas mediante una lista de chequeo compuesta por 31 ítems y estructurada en cuatro dimensiones (aspectos generales; pavimento; protección y seguridad; equipamientos). La muestra está formada por 17 centros educativos que impartían segundo ciclo de EI. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que ninguno de los centros cuenta con una sala psicomotora y el 71% de los centros utiliza el gimnasio para el trabajo de EF. Este estudio revela que los espacios destinados a la psicomotricidad presentan algunas deficiencias relacionadas con ventilación, iluminación, pavimento, protección o equipamientos. Se recomienda adecuar los espacios a las características de la sala psicomotora en pos de asegurar una calidad en el trabajo de EF en EI.  Abstract. Psychomotricity is presented as a topic of undoubted relevance within schools. Previous studies reveal deficiencies in relation to psychomotricity, both in teacher training and the spaces and materials intended for it. The aim of the study is to analyze the spaces and equipment that the educational centres of Ávila (Castilla y León) present for physical education work in early childhood education. All study variables are registered through a checklist consisting of 31 items and structured in four dimensions (general aspects; pavement; protection and safety; equipment). The sample is based on 17 educational centres offering second cycle of early childhood education. The results obtained show that none of the centres have a psychomotor room, and 71% of the centres use the gym for physical education work. This study indicates that the spaces for psychomotricity present some deficiencies related to ventilation, lighting, pavement, protection, or equipment. It is recommended to adapt the spaces to the characteristics of the psychomotor room in favor of quality in physical education work in early childhood education.

Early childhood (0-6 years) is a very important period that affects all stages of human development. This period is often referred to as the golden age because in this period children’s intelligence develops more rapidly than in the next period. Children need good quality educational services during early childhood so that their potential can develop optimally. It is therefore important to support early childhood education facilities and infrastructure. Each educational unit must have infrastructure such as land, classrooms, leadership rooms, teachers’ rooms, administration rooms, library rooms, sports venues, places of worship, places to play, and places to support the learning process. There are still many people who do not understand what infrastructure is needed by early childhood education units to support the needs of children, or how to manage it. This can be seen in the results of this exploratory study, which analyzed the standards of the infrastructure in the district and municipal early childhood education units in South Sulawesi province. Keywords: infrastructure standards, early childhood education program
