Starting school is a new situation for both a child and a parent. The child is included in the kindergarten for a full day or half-day programme before going to school. During one year before child’s departure to school, the child is preparing for the school through various activities. Some of the activities that are being conducted in a preschool are: graphomotor exercises, pre-reading skills, patience, solving conflicts with peers, math activities, etc. In addition to the previously mentioned activities, it is advisable to use project activities as a child’s preparation for school, because with them children are developing in many areas at the same time and learning in an interesting way. The aim of this paper was to determine the educators’ attitudes about project activities and about their habits of preparing children for school. The research was conducted on a sample of 10 educators in 7 kindergartens in the Osijek area. From the conducted research it can be concluded that the projects were not primarily designed to prepare children for school departure, but the project elementscontributed to it. By analyzing the content of public available kindergartens websites, project are being implemented in most kindergartens but only 8 of 50 implement projects related to preparing children for school departure. Furthermore, based on the results of the conducted research, it was noted that 2-3 projects on average were implemented in the pedagogical year which also applies to analized kindergartens websites.
