Musical activities are extremely important for the overall development of every child. The goal of this research is to examine the attitudes of preschool teachers about the importance of musical activities for the overall development of children and their self-assessment of competence for conducting activities of the music program in kindergarten, with regard to professional qualifications and years of work experience. The survey was conducted via an online survey on a sample of 126 participants, educators of preschool children from the Split-Dalmatia County. For the purposes of the research, a questionnaire consisting of two parts was constructed: Questionnaire of general information and Attitudes of educators of preschool children on the importance of musical activities for the overall development of children and self-assessment of their competence for planning and implementing activities of the music program in kindergarten. The results of the research confirmed that there is no difference in the educators' views on the importance of musical activities for the overall development of the child, considering the years of work experience and professional education. Namely, all participants believe that musical activities are important for the overall development of every child. Years of work experience and professional training did not prove to be significant predictors of self-assessment of educators' competencies for planning and implementing music program activities in kindergarten. Educators, regardless of years of work experience and level of professional education, are considered to be moderately competent in planning and implementing the activities of the music program in kindergarten.
