Abstract
At preschool age children express keen interest in exploring the world around them. One of the important problems in early education is the knowledge about nature as a source of experience and expertise, basic problem solving, finding answers, asking questions. Every day children receive a lot of experience at home, playground, in kindergarten. The harmonious development of the child can not be diversified without knowledge of the world, understanding the union of man and nature. New program introduced in the article focuses on the need to build children’s knowledge about the social, natural and technical environment, the development of abilities to express their ideas clear, to give children a chance to learn by stimulating their curiosity, activity and independence. The program encourages all spheres of activity of the child. Interest in the outside world makes children act and think independently. Therefore it is necessary to systematically immerse preschoolers in experiment and observation.
