The article raises the question of early education of preschoolers, starting with infancy. This period is of particular importance when it comes to identifying problems in a child’s development. In some cases it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a child’s limited health capacity with the help of early detection of development disorders and timely psychological and pedagogical help provided to the child along with counseling for the child’s family. The article also states the statistical data on the coverage of pre-school education in Russia and European countries. Further, the article presents organizational and methodological approaches to the performance of the structural divisions focused on helping children with developmental problems: lekoteks, early help services, playing facilities for children’s development and counseling centers.

This article will report on a project, which consulted children about their understandings of safety in relation to the people and places in their lives. Thirty-nine children aged between three and five years attending preschool and long day-care services reflected on their experiences of what is safe and unsafe in their world through dialogue, artwork and construction. The services were based in an inner city in Australia. The article will then examine discourses of safety to explore how children limit their own capacity and willingness to actively and independently engage with the world outside their family and home due to concerns of safety. This examination raises questions for educators, researchers, policymakers and families about how the effects of how adults observe, monitor and restrict children’s play and movement to keep them in close proximity in order to keep them safe.
