The forest pre-school education alternative in the Czech Republic is saved

Abstract

The Association of Forest Kindergartens in the Czech Republic now has a membership of 120 pre-school educational establishments. Until recently, their existence was threatened in connection with the approval process for the Law on the Provision of Childcare Services in Children's Groups. Recently the Association succeeded in securing a place for forest nursery schools in the early childhood education system – not only through petitions, but also through active participation in the discussion on the amended Act.
