Features of education and training of preschool children
Nature and evolution have decreed that a person gives birth to offspring that are physically and psychologically unprepared for independent existence. Unlike most animals, whose young are born fully formed and able to move, children of our species require the full attention of adults. Immediately after birth and until they reach several years of age, children cannot do without support and services. All this is provided to them by the family or structures that replace it.
A child’s personality is shaped by adults who are role models through upbringing and education. These are, first of all, immediate relatives - mothers, fathers, grandfathers and grandmothers, and then kindergarten teachers. They are the ones who are next to the kids in the first, most important years of their lives. Therefore, both the family and the kindergarten have a huge influence on the upbringing and education of preschool children. In order to get a full-fledged person with strong mental and physical health, excellently prepared for future life, the activities of parents and kindergarten teachers must be coordinated and integral. This is what the interaction between the two most important “branches of education” - family and social - serves.
