Abstract
As part of the transformation of the care system for children at risk in the Czech Republic, alternative family care has a fundamental priority over the placement of children in institutional care. Nowadays, teachers increasingly encounter a child living in a foster family at school. The educational program reflects various situations in the life of children who preceded their placement in foster care. These specific life experiences prevent children from establishing successful relationships, respecting boundaries and successfully participating in their educational process.

Summary
When all the needs of the child are satisfied, it is a good prerequisite for proper development and growth. We still come across parents who, for various reasons, cannot, do not want or have a lack of the skills to look after their children. These children miss out on solid family background, confidence, security, and love. It may even happen that a parent abandons their child The reasons for this may vary – for example, indifference, illness, psychological problems, lack of anchoring or personal instability. Such a parent or family cannot fulfil their parental roles, fulfil their parental responsibilities, and provide a favourable educational environment for the child. The emergence of this situation/fact is when substitute family care comes into play
