Theory and Practice of Modern Domestic Preschool Education

The author marked the most important theoretical principles of cultural-historical psychology and activity approach, which underlie the educational standard. The idea of inherent value of childhood, the position of the amplification and the need to take into account the child’s age are fundamental for preschool education. However, they often remain a theoretical thesis that teachers either do not own, or to act in a real educational practice, or they misunderstand. It is necessary to study conditions of development of methods and means for the effective implementation of the fundamental theoretical positions in real educational process. Statements that need to be developed in the theory as applied to the preschool are marked.
