The article is devoted to the study of the specific features of a kindergarten teacher’s professional position and is based on the materials of the questionnaire survey involving 320 caregivers from Moscow daycare centers. One of the most important factors affecting the child development is the nature of the educational strategies preschool care-givers use when interacting with the child. Special attention is given to the analysis of educators’ target orientations, the specifics of the style of their relationship with the child, teachers’ emotional well-being when dealing with children and the forms of control (reward and punishment) they use in response to the child’s behavior. The analysis of the materials pays special attention to the influence of various factors (the caregivers’ educational level and work experience, children’s age) on a caregiver’s idiosyncratic professional position.
