Lifelong education of educators is a process that lasts a whole life, starting with obligatory formal education and continuing with continuous professional training. Educators cannot be sure that during their studies they have received sufficient knowledge to carry out their work, because education is a lifelong process that leads to the acquisition of new knowledge and the strengthening of professional competences. In fact, lifelong education strengthens the identity of educators who will be ready to solve the problems encountered in practice and who will be able to respond to the individual needs of each child through adequate practice. The authors emphasize the importance of connecting the knowledge and skills acquired during formal education and the subsequent permanent training of all employees of the institution. The forms of training that educators choose depend on the availability of training and according to their interests or the interests of the children. The largest number of practitioners improve their skills through seminars and lectures because they are the most accessible, however educators are more interested in workshops and professional gatherings that encourage practitioners to actively participate and present reflective practice. Continuous professional development affects the personal and professional development of educators, which develops professional competences and adopts new work methods.
