• Resumen

  • While reviewing the modern theoretical framework of Bulgarian preschool education and some significant reforms in preschool educationin Slovakia, the current paper presents the contemporary situation of preschool education in Bulgaria and Slovakia and considers some points of convergence between them, as well as some differences. Since having a university education for future kindergarten teachers influences their future pedagogical interaction with children, the university level preparation of future kindergarten teachers is also detailed. Some aspects of the in-service training of Bulgarian and Slovak kindergarten teachers have also been described.
