Throughout history the outlook on growth of a child has changed. In the past children had no rights guaranteed by law and the society in general showed no interest in protecting them. Children's rights began to develop in the 19th century, and with time they were regulated by law. To promote rights of the child and to secure the best possible conditions for the growth, development, and education of children the United Nations have issued special documents: Declaration on the Rights of the Child (1959), and the Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989). The Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989) is an international document that describes, in detail, the rights of each child that member states should respect and grant. Usually, those rights are classified as the right to survival, to development, to participation and to protection. Kindergarten, as an institution of pre-school education and upbringing, is an ideal place where a child is given opportunity to learn about his rights, and to enjoy them. A kindergarten educator is a person with an important role in making a child truly learn, recognize, and apply his rights. To be an educator is a significant and responsible role that implies constant professional training, continuous learning and developing of one's own competences, particularly those focusing on promotion and protection of children's rights.
