Nowadays values are an important element of education and represent a key component of Early Childhood Education. In addition, traditional stories are used in teaching and learning methodologies. This article describes the initial results of a non-experimental study that had the general objective of identifying the values that teachers believe are transmitted by traditional stories for children. The main result obtained was that traditional stories and fairytales transmit different values depending on the educational stage of the students and the professional experience of teachers. The study concludes that values education through traditional stories in early childhood education is a valid methodology to facilitate the socialization of children.
