Human rights are rights naturally given to man, but also the rights people established so that they could live as human beings. Regulations on human rights can be found in some documents dating as early as 17. century. Among the documents dealing with human rights is the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights". All other documents of the same kind originate from that document. Having that in mind, one can also speak of children's rights among which are: right to life, right to protection of personal identity, freedom of speech, seeking, getting and giving information, freedom of thought, consciousness and religion. The children's rights are taken into account in kindergartens, but some are given advantage before the others. The preschool programs in the Republic of Croatia are determined by the humanistic-developmental conception of an upbringing ane education outside of the family circle. That is based on the idea of humanism and the contemporary scientific comprehension of peculiarities and rules of a preschooler's development. Working in the field of the upbringing and the education of children requires a firm grip on the children's rights. As a part of this paper, a research was conducted whose goal was to find out how informed the kindergarten teachers are on children's rights and to which level they are respected in kindergartens. That was done by interpreting data from a questionnaire that was filled out by different kindergarted teachers.
