Abstract
The article describes the process of co-construction in early childhood education, its advantages in the relationship of adults and children. Co-construction as a pedagogical approach means that learning takes place as collaboration, which is jointly organized by teaching staff and children. The key of co-construction is the social interaction, which promotes the spiritual, linguistic, social development. The process of co-construction is ensured by the design, documentation and discourse. The author examines the specific aspects of the co-construction: intercultural, gender and children with different abilities. As an example, the article analyzes the daily life in pre-school, organized on the principle of co-construction.
