To analyze the content of a group of articles where the evaluation of the preschool child has been carried out from Luria's theory in order to relate it to the foundations of early childhood education. Methodology. The selection of articles was made considering several search equations, from 2015 to 2022, coming from eight databases: SCOPUS, WOS, SCIELO, PUBMED, DIALNET, LATINDEX, SCIENCEGATE, EBSCO. Results. The experience of Luria and his followers has allowed him to work with neuropsychological factors as indicators to assess neurological alterations in man, although the review of the articles has allowed us to conclude that Luria's contributions are related to the objectives of early childhood education: an assessment with an integral approach. From this perspective, the authors of the article propose five executions to analyze the integral development of the preschool child. Conclusions. Luria's theory can be used in early childhood education to carry out the assessment of the preschool child with an integral approach.
