Abstract:

Pre-school age is treated as especially important period in life of a human being, it is considered to be a very essential period for development of a person, for acquiring first important and , because of it, particularly strongly consolidated experiences, as well as the first period in which child’s amnesia is not involved. The most important changes, characteristic for this age, are visible in a child’s relation with the environment in educational area. To make the process of socialization at the pre- school age proper, and due to this enable kindergarten to fulfill all its functions and duties, good adaptation to the environment is necessary. However, not every three- year old child is so ready and mature to suit this task itself, because its developmental characteristics make it difficult to do this task. Therefore, adults should help children with it. The program of initial adaptation makes this adaptation to a new environment, out of family, easier.
