Dimensions of child's psychological maturation and preparation for school

The paper aims to highlight the importance of preschool years in the context of childhood and, especially, the role of kindergarten for the maturation process of the child. We intend to explore the process of psychic maturation and development of preschoolers, as a prerequisite for the passage to the school status and the learning activities in school. We also plan to reveal a very close relationship between the educational model in kindergarten and the degree of psychological preparation for school learning.
