A kindergarten gives extensive opportunities for cooperation with parents. The article is limited to present two aspects of cooperation. One area concerns health education, which can and should combine and integrate the activities of kindergarten teachers and parents, concerning children’s knowledge acquisition and formation of health-oriented behaviour. The second area concerns preparing preschool children for the future role of a tourist. Advantages of tourism for a child’s development were presented, including trips as an organizational form of kindergarten work. In addition to evidence confirming the numerous cognitive, health, cultural, and aesthetic values of trips, the importance of cooperation between a kindergarten and parents in this regard was highlighted. The article also contains many proposals for methodological solutions for the discussed issues.
The article raises the problem, increasingly discussed by pedagogues, of the functioning of a child with special educational needs in a preschool environment. The article focuses primarily on the situation of a talented, unusual child often treated as the difficult one. Many tips, methodological advices and solutions addressed to educators of unusual children were introduced, in order to provide support for teachers and parents in recognizing talents and dealing with such children.
