Abstract

The paper examines ways to form ecological culture in children during preschool childhood, as the most sensitive period for the acquisition of useful skills. A social project “The World and I: a course of environmental education for preschool children” was implemented in the community of the university, school and preschool institution. The project has shown high efficiency and satisfaction on the part of the project participants. During the implementation of the project, pedagogical conditions for environmental education of preschoolers were formulated, including the involvement of volunteer schoolchildren in working with preschoolers, practical orientation and consideration of psychological factors.
