Abstract
In this research we estimated the effects of the prevention program safety of children in kindergarten, from the standpoint of their parents. In this program, the experts from Kindergarten “Maslačak” in Zaprešić compiled the Protocol of the desirable behavior in risk situations in the kindergarten. Then the parents of children from Kindergarten “Maslačak” in Zaprešić assessed their own awareness about the Protocol, and the potential effects of application of the prevention program safety of children on self-defence skills in children. The results showed that parents feel informed about the Protocol of the desirable children’s behavior in risk situations in the kindergarten. They assessed the relative beneficial effect of
application of the prevention program safety of children on the feeling of safety at children, and the fact that the kindergarten has a relatively important role in developing the so-called self-defence skills of children. According to the assessments of parents, child’s family play an important role in developing self-defence skills,
too, although slightly less than the estimated role of kindergarten. Kindergarten “Maslačak” was estimated as a very safe place for children’s stay and their psycho-social safety.
