Introduction: Pedagogical work in educational and fostering institutions, especially in early childhood, is a basis for development of positive attitude and habits, as well as healthy lifestyle. Earlier pedagogical, and longitudinal research has shown that pre-school up-bringing, and influence of family and school environment significantly contribute to development of hygienic, health, ecological, cultural and emotional habits of pre-school aged children. It is defined by the experts that pre-school and elementary/middle school age would be the most appropriate timing, as well as educational and social obligation, for development of prevention of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease. Through the appropriate nutritional habits, children will ensure intake of appropriate level of vitamines and mineral. This means that nutrition in kindergardens and schools should be adjusted to their needs, what is leading to necessary changes in nutrition plans.
