Modern preschool education needs qualified professionals who constantly improve their skills. Today in Russia professional communities of pedagogues of preschool education - federal, regional, urban, on the basis of individual kindergartens are established. They create conditions for experience exchange and open access to learning resources. Further development and improvement of the professional community of preschool education is hampered by the lack of the websites, local interaction of the participants within the same community, perfunctory membership in the community, lack of financing and fundraising mechanisms and lack of integration of communities into a united system of interaction. It is advisable to address these problems through the creation of a unified association of professional communities.
