This study has sought to understand the experience of teachers in the process of inclusion of children with stoma, being Sociological Phenomenology the reference. Interviews were conducted with five teachers between December 2015 and January 2016. Data collection was carried out from the narration of teachers, with later transcription and data analysis. Four thematic categories emerged: feelings experienced by teachers, factors that interfere with care, effective strategies for care, and strategies to improve care. The teachers valued the integration of the child with stoma in the school; they consider that this happens with the modification of the pedagogical formation, and they also pointed out the need for the presence of nurses in schools. The results show the importance of the development of actions and strategies to support teachers and students with stoma in the context of an inclusive school, considering that the school nurse is a determining factor for the health promotion of these children.
