Abstract

The paper aims at analyzing the non-profit organizations and national projects that provide non-formal education to preschool children in Slovakia. Non-profit organizations and their programs are an important tool for strengthening the educational and social development of children who do not have the access to traditional formal educational institutions for reasons such as limited capacity of kindergartens, parents' distrust of school institutions, parents' lack of interest in pre-primary education, and financial constraints. Non-profit organizations, civic associations, community centers, and other agents operating in the field play an important role in providing education to children from marginalized Roma communities. Their cooperation and efforts for inclusive education help these children overcome social and educational barriers and improve their life chances. Programs and projects provided by non-profit organizations to children from marginalized Roma communities support and stimulate their personality development, motivate parents for adequate education and create an environment in which children can learn from an early age.
