Abstract

Future, welfare of our society, depends on investment in human potential. This investment starts from the smallest child age and lasts until the end of human life. What will be built as intuitive knowledge in early preschool age is a database which is constantly upgraded and expanded. Therefore, it is necessary for each child to be enabled with the best possible start. It is provided at the family, at preschool institution, schools etc. Preschool institution should offer a multitude of diverse opportunities for learning, gaining experience that will lead to meeting the interests and needs of a young child. Young children are naturally curious, always looking for answers about the world around them. Therefore, this natural endowment should be used for understanding the world. By observing and exploring the world using all their senses, with guidance from a teacher, and through direct interaction with his friends, it allows connection to their intuitive knowledge and experience, its placement in a new context, and thus contribute to their development. By promoting the integrated learning, to enable children to explore, experiment with different materials, known to them from everyday life.
The kindergarten programs should be designed in such a way, to help children based on their previous knowledge and experiences, form concepts, to acquire basic skills, and positive attitudes towards learning, lifelong learning. The base includes the knowledge, skills from math, science, language, knowledge of ICT...
Therefore, in this paper we tried to answer some key questions through the application of descriptive method, interviews, participatory observation in some kindergartens in Macedonia, we came to answer the following questions: How children learn mathematics?, How do they learn science? How to apply ICT in kindergarten? What strategies should be used by educators to achieve the effective development and learning from these areas in preschool children?
