Sumario:This article presents an exploratory study on the attitudes of early childhood teachers in Chile towards statistics, probability, and their teaching. Drawing on a previously validated scale, the study analyses the affective, cognitive, behavioural, and teaching competence components in a sample of 37 practising Chilean early childhood teachers. The findings reveal a generally positive appreciation of the importance of these contents, although accompanied by a low self-perception with regards to their teaching, particularly in the affective and teaching competence dimensions. Differences were observed between attitudes towards statistics, more favourable, and towards probability, more neutral or negative, suggesting specific training challenges. The study highlights the need to design professional development initiatives that integrate the strengthening of Pedagogical Content Knowledge with strategies aimed at reframing the teaching of these contents from a positive, accessible, and contextually grounded perspective in early childhood education
