Abstract

There are places which create their own rituals and circumstances give them functions. The kindergarten seems to be such a place - "a different space". The object of my considerations, in which I applied the understanding of the specific kindergarten space as a “no-place in the place”, are the six principles defining Foucault's heterotopy. Considering each of them, I refer to preschool as an institution which, apart from implementing its basic goals focused on care and supporting child’s development, becomes a unique microcosm for every pupil.
