Concept
The concept of spiritual and moral education of preschool children consists of several terms. Spirituality traditionally means a characteristic of the soul where spiritual, moral and intellectual interests prevail over material interests.
The concept of morality refers to a person’s ability to accept responsibility for his actions and act in accordance with his conscience. As you know, the foundations of spirituality and morality are laid in childhood.
The spiritual and moral education of preschool children in the Russian Federation is carried out in compliance with certain standards
Preschool age is the period from 3 to 7 years. Within this period there is a smaller division, which involves the presence of younger preschoolers, as well as middle and senior preschoolers.
If in early preschool age spiritual and moral education is primarily carried out by parents, then the senior and middle preschool age of children involves inclusion in the sociocultural environment and full development within the framework of federal educational programs based on educational institutions.
