Abstract

The environment represents the totality of external factors in nature and society, which act on man and condition his existence. From birth, the child enters into increasingly complex relationships with the environment in which he lives, developing under his direct influence. On the one hand, the environment is a necessary framework for the further development of the child through the material and cultural conditions it offers. On the other hand, the environment is the main source of impressions, which will be the basis of the process of knowing reality. From birth, the child develops bio psychosocially under the direct influence of the environment, this being the main source of information that will be the basis of the process of knowing reality. Knowing the environment is a basic task of the instructive-educational process in kindergarten and contributes to the realization of the aspects of education: intellectual, moral, aesthetic, professional and physical, underlined by the French pedagogue, René Hubert. The importance of knowing the surrounding reality derives from the overwhelming influence that the environment has on the whole psychic development of the child, on the formation of the pre-primary elements of the future scientific conception of the world, on the process of forming the child's personality.
