This thesis explores giftedness in preschool children, with a special emphasis on the roles of educators and families. Gifted children exhibit exceptional abilities that exceed age expectations and thus require careful study and tailored educational methods. The key components of giftedness include above-average abilities, personal traits, and creativity, and their development depends on the support from their environment. Educators play a crucial role in recognizing and fostering giftedness through individualized approaches and tailored programs. Families also play a vital role in creating a supportive environment that recognizes and nurtures children's potential. The legal protection and rights of gifted children in Croatia are also examined, including available resources and programs for their optimal development. The descriptive method was used to describe the key aspects of giftedness, including ways to identify and support gifted children in preschools and families. The aim of this thesis is to provide a comprehensive overview of giftedness in preschool children and to highlight the importance of tailored approaches in education and upbringing. The thesis emphasizes the need for coordinated efforts by educators, parents, and the broader community to ensure the successful development and realization of the potential of gifted children.
