Quality Education In Kindergarten-The Premise For Succes In School

Abstract

Quality in education means complex principles and practices which run through the entire educational environment, in all its components, oriented towards achieving better results against the set standards, the ultimate scope being the satisfaction of the beneficiaries of education. However, quality standards do not guarantee a quality education. This paper tries to highlight factors that lead to a quality education. The Romanian education system has experienced recently quantitative but especially qualitative changes. In this context, the preschool education has the task of properly preparing the preschool children for integration in school and society. A quality education must have as a final goal the overall development of the children by using adequate and diversified teaching - learning- evaluation strategies and by establishing real connections between the areas of child development. In such vision, the preschool education has the role of contributing through designed and executed activities to the development of preschool children’s personality. The teacher has the task of designing the educational interventions according to the necessities and interests of the child, the preschool education being a first stage in the activities of the child who is in continuous development and transformation. The preparation, organization and execution of instructive-educative activities in Kindergarten has to work towards the development of capacities and behaviours in children that are meant to insure success in school and the development of their personalities according to the requirements of the social environment.
