Abstract

The kindergarten is an educational space where children aged 3-6, staff and sometimes parents, take part in countless interactions and activities. Study in the kindergarten contains moments of pleasure and learning, but can also produce moments of frustration, anger, and vulnerability. Every kindergarten teacher strives to organize a pleasant and relaxed space, in which the children are active and the teachers are free to respond to their requests and needs.
