Abstract

‘‘Rukovođ za zabavište'', the work of Antonija Cvijić, one of the first kindergarten educators in Croatia, was published by the Croatian Pedagogical and Literary Association in Zagreb in 1895. On the basis of German literature and her own experience in a kindergarten in Zagreb, Antonija Cvijić elaborated in details the concept of education founded on the ideas of Friedrich Fröbel, the founder of kindergartens. Considering wider issues of kindergartens, Antonija Cvijić paid great attention to children's play. In that context she analyzed a diverse range of children's games and activities. ‘‘Rukovođ za zabavište'' can be rightly considered a capital work of preschool pedagogical thinking.
