Abstract

The authors reveal an innovative approach to training and education of preschool children. This approach is called "GARDEN OF CHILDHOOD". It is based on the idea that the development of the preschool child's personality should be joyous and free "cultural self-creation" in terms of the collective co-creation, where adults and children are equal partners. The authors emphasize the aesthetic component of preschool education, arguing that it allows to develop child's abilities to generalize, to educate dialectical and originality of mind, self-solve creative problems, to be active, relaxed, not afraid of the new, the unexpected things.
