The work on this paper included a survey of kitsch in kindergartens. The project consisted of theoretical and empirical part. The first section concerns art in general, kitsch as a social phenomenon, kitsch in kindergartens as a specific topic and ways of encouraging children's creativity. The second, empirical part involves a study aimed to determine the level of educators’ capacity to recognize the kitsch and the impact of their work experience on that capacity. The study was conducted on a sample of 150 educators in the area of Dubrovnik, Split and Zagreb. Likert scale was used by the educators as a measuring tool, to assess how much they agreed or disagreed with the given statements. In the second part of the questionnaire, four pictures were offered to the respondents, and they were asked to round the letter in front of the picture they considered to be an example of kitsch. The collected data showed that the original hypotheses should be rejected and that the educators did not or only partially recognized kitsch, both in theory and in practice.
