The aim of this study was to determine whether, and in what manner, an education and care professional provides sufficient support to a chronically ill child in order for that child to cope more easily with their condition in everyday life. At the beginning of the study the following hypothesis formulated: 1. An education and care professional supports sufficiently a chronically ill child. In order to confirm the hypothesis, a questionnaire for parents of chronically ill children (diseases in questions are asthma, epilepsy, celiac disease and diabetes) was created. The participants of this study were 48 parents of chronically ill children that attend a preschool establishment. The study was carried out online by using social media groups. The questionnaire consisted of 10 open- and closed-ended questions and the answers to these questions were given anonymously. The results showed that education and care professionals do provide enough support to both the child and parents while confronting a certain chronic disease. Parents also stated in what manner that support is provided - the majority of answers specified that they receive support through open communication, collaboration rich with understanding and encouragement. The study also showed that parents believe education and care professionals should pay greater attention to chronically ill children. Moreover, subjects expressed their wish for the professionals to be further educated in this field. A certain flaw of this study is the above-mentioned small sample of participants. This paper also describes the following diseases in early childhood: asthma, epilepsy, celiac disease and diabetes.
