Preschool is a unique context in which the teacher must encourage and promote diverse learning in their pedagogical dynamics. Considering this need, this research had the main objective to evaluate the Educational Social Skills of teachers of preschool children with typical development, behavior problems, and disabilities. As well it as had specific objectives to characterize the Educational Social Skills of teachers of preschool children with typical development, behavior problems, and disabilities and relate the Educational Social Skills of teachers with children's behavior problems and social skills. Thirty-one teachers and ninety-three children aged 4 to 6 years participated. Data were collected by applying 1) Preschool Kindergarten Behavior Scales; 2) Inventory of Educational Social Skills; and 3) Educational Social Skills Questionnaire of the preschool teacher. The results indicated that the teachers presented high levels of general Educational Social Skills, rather than specific ones in everyday preschool situations. There was also a positive relationship between the teachers' educational social skills and the behavioral repertoire of the group of children with typical development. The research concluded that the teachers had a good repertoire, but that it is necessary investment in studies about the occurrence and strength of the relationship between variables.
