    The research conducted aimed to determine whether the implementation of the Montessori learning tower positively influenced the development of gross motor coordination in children aged 2 to 3 who attended the Child Development Center of the Technical University of Ambato. To achieve this objective, a quantitative approach was adopted, using a quasi-experimental design with pretest and posttest measurements in a single group. The sample consisted of 17 children who were evaluated before and after the application of a series of exercises using the learning tower. For data collection, a structured observation sheet was used, based on indicators related to gross motor coordination. This instrument made it possible to assess the children's performance in activities requiring balance, movement, and coordination of large body movements. The data were then statistically analyzed using the SPSS software, applying the Shapiro-Wilk normality test and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test for related samples. The results showed significant differences between the initial and final measurements, with a Z value of -4.005 and a bilateral significance level of p = 0.001. This led to the rejection of the null hypothesis and the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis, indicating that the intervention with the Montessori learning tower had a positive effect on improving gross motor coordination in the participating children.
