The present paper reports on the experience extension project carried out in Rondonópolis, Mato Grosso. The initiative adopted an interdisciplinary approach and focuses on health promotion in Municipal Early Childhood Education Centers. The general objective was to conduct educational activities with children aged 4–5 years, while also engaging parents and educators.The project was structured around three main intervention axes: food and nutrition, vaccination coverage, and the rational use of medicines. Activities related to each axis were implemented simultaneously and included theatrical presentations, storytelling, games, workshops, and other interactive strategies. The experience demonstrated strong engagement from all target groups and proved enriching both for the community and for the participating students. These outcomes reinforce the role of university extension as an essential bridge between academic institutions and society.
