Abstract
The fi rst impression of school is the key of a child’s further succes in her/his schooling so we can consider the preparation and the fi rst day of school to be one of the most important moments in a lifelong education. This could be the reason why the fi rst days of school are stressful moments for parents too, as well as for everyone else who is directly or indirectly involved in child’s pre-school education, at home or in kindergarten. However, the preparation for the school itself cannot guarantee that the child will accept school activities and get used to them. First grade teachers, who also need to be specially prepared for organisation and management of „the fi rst steps“ of schoolchildren, play the key role in this situation. According to all above-mentioned necessities for better preparation of children for their fi rst day in school, this paper gives specifi c didactic-methodical and psychological guidelines for pre-school teachers, parents and fi rst grade teachers; the aim of the paper is to enable effi cient child’s education and preparation for the one of the most important moments in child’s life: the fi rst day of school.
