Numerous authors and theories have proven that the child is not a "blank slate". It is not only waiting for knowledge to be passed on to it, but it is also its co-constructor. Therefore, it is necessary to adapt the educational program to each child according to specific possibilities, abilities, different needs, and interests. According to the National Curriculum for Early and Preschool Education (2014), a child is a complete being, researcher, and active creator of knowledge, a social subject with specific needs, rights and culture, a creative being with specific creative and expressive potentials, and an active citizen of the community. Furthermore, this way requires a different approach to children, ie a departure from the old, traditional way of working. The new paradigm, the humanistic approach, encourages the development of the child's independent thinking, encourages active participation and communication, and one's solution to problems. This approach can also be seen in the project form of work that is part of the new paradigm of preschool education. A project is a modern form of work compared to the traditional one. Working on a project allows children to explore a topic in-depth on their own with minimal help from educators. When implementing the project form of work, it is important to allow children to actively participate and, based on their affinities and needs, choose the topic of the project.
