“…In the past, kindergartens were primarily for child care, not education (Krek and Metljak, 2011;Devjak and Berčnik, 2018), but today Slovenian kindergartens are uniformly organized for care and education in the educational system (Rutar, 2022).

Introduction: Health education and health promotion are reflections of the general culture in each society. Health education work is a basic activity of care providers, which helps individuals to become active in improving and maintaining their health and preventing diseases. Health education should start at a young age, because children learn how to live as healthy as possible, which is a good investment for the future. The purpose of the research was to examine the importance of health educational activities in kindergartens and to determine the position of educators in this regard. The aim of the research was to determine how educators are active in health education with preschool children and how children are acceptable to these contents. Methods: The research was based on a qualitative working method, and the primary data were obtained through interview techniques. The sample in the research was engaged, six respondents from three different kindergartens participated in the interview. Results: The results show that kindergartens collaborate with health facilities, but the number of visits by health personnel varies from kindergarten to kindergarten. The children are receptive to the information provided by the health personnel and are happy to participate in the activities. In-service training is provided for kindergarten teachers as part of the "Health in Kindergarten" program, while another in-service training on health education is not planned. One of the interviewees said that she participated in first aid training, which should be a constant practice for all those who work with children, as they are unpredictable and appropriate action in case of accidents can save lives.
