Starting from a new image of the child, the contemporary approach to the upbringing and education of children seeks to change and improve practice with a view to the well-being of the child and its full development. Accordingly, there have been created documents that provide guidance for the implementation of quality practice in early and pre-school education. Many studies have shown that a supportive and quality environment in which a child resides is of utmost importance for his or her overall development. In such an environment, the child develops all their competencies and their full potentials. Therefore, it is important that all employees of a particular educational institution, and above all educators and professional team, work together to reflect and realize the spatial and material environment that will satisfy the child's needs, interests and stage of development. The organization of the spatial context should be functional and safe for the child and offer opportunities for engaging in a variety of activities. The material environment should be diverse, rich and appropriate for the child and his or her needs. The child can then, guided by his own interests and needs, research, create and learn independently and actively, thus developing his full potentials, competences and skills.
