Abstract

Djetinjstvo je ključno razdoblje u kojem se temelji budući životni put svakog pojedinca. U tom razdoblju, vrtići i čuvališta zauzimaju izuzetno važno mjesto kao okruženja u kojima se oblikuje dječji karakter, kompetencije i potencijali. Njihova uloga seže daleko izvan puke brige o djeci; oni su pravo obličje početnog obrazovanja i društvenog učenja.
Ovaj završni rad istražuje ključne mogućnosti koje odgojitelji profesionalci imaju u kontekstu obrta za čuvanje djece i u vrtićima. S naglaskom na razvoj dječjih kompetencija i dobrobiti, istraživanje se temelji na analizi uloge odgojitelja kako u privatnim i organiziranim dječjim ustanovama, tako i u vrtićima. Metodologija uključuje analizu literature, ankete s iskusnim odgojiteljima te studije slučaja. U radu se istražuju ključni aspekti profesionalne obuke, komunikacije s roditeljima, prilagodbe nastavnog plana i programa te kreativne metode poticanja dječjeg razvoja. Rezultati ukazuju na važnost kontinuirane edukacije odgojitelja, stvaranja poticajnog okruženja te suradnje s roditeljima u cilju postizanja optimalnih rezultata u dječjem razvoju.
Ovo istraživanje doprinosi boljem razumijevanju uloge odgojitelja u obrtu za čuvanje djece te ističe ključne faktore koji doprinose uspješnom vođenju takvog posla. Implikacije rada ukazuju na potrebu za kontinuiranim profesionalnim usavršavanjem, podrškom od strane nadležnih institucija te promicanjem važnosti ranog dječjeg odgoja i obrazovanja.

Abstract (english)

Childhood is a crucial period during which the foundation for an individual's future life is laid. In this phase, preschools and daycare centers hold an exceptionally important role as environments where children's character, competencies, and potentials are shaped. Their significance extends far beyond mere childcare; they embody the true essence of early education and social learning.
This final paper explores the key possibilities that professional educators have in the context of childcare businesses and preschools. With an emphasis on fostering children's competencies and well-being, the research is grounded in an analysis of educators' roles both in private and organized childcare institutions, as well as in preschools. The methodology encompasses literature analysis, surveys conducted with experienced educators, and case studies. The paper investigates essential aspects of professional training, parent communication, adaptation of curricula, and creative methods of stimulating child development. The results underscore the importance of continuous educator training, the creation of conducive environments, and collaboration with parents to achieve optimal outcomes in child development.
This research contributes to a better understanding of the educator's role in childcare businesses and highlights key factors that contribute to successful management of such roles. The implications of the study emphasize the necessity for ongoing professional development, support from relevant institutions, and the promotion of the significance of early childhood
education.
