Abstract
The goal of this study was to analyze importance and frequency of daily activities given by preschool teachers from two Brazilian states. They completed a questionnaire about the activities carried out by children. Most of them (90%) considered such activities as important but just 15% of them indicated a daily frequency of physical activity. Sedentary activities were more often and more important and they do not offer enough physical activities. Intervention strategies and dialogue among teachers, parents, government as well other communities sectors are need to be implanted in order to elevate physical activities levels in preschool children and combat sedentary lifestyle.
