Sažetak
Taking into account new scientific paradigms, child is seen as a holistic being that is active participant in the proces of personal development, and defined as an explorer responsible for building its knowledge within early childhood education. In education, the process of transition from kindergarten to school places a great responsibility for the teachers to provide the children with the meaningful experiences that will develop their competences and knowledge within prepared environment. For a child to successfully enroll in school, the kindergarten experience should encourage the development of indepedent thinking, participation, and decision-making. Recently, in Croatia, early childhood and elementary education have undergone great changes. Moreover, National curriculum guidelines emphasize the importance of professional cooperation and understanding for achieveing more quality in the process of connecting kindergartens with elementary schools. In this paper we will outline the important role of early childhood practitioneers in the process of creating an autonomous child, taking into consideration and respecting individual differences, needs and possibilities, and in the same time preparing a child for a new socializing experiences so he can be competent in creating new relationships.
