Abstract

Behavior problems that children of preschool age appear to have, are nowadays a worrying phenomenon with deep social implications. The educational community has to manage these problems efficiently and effectively. In this direction, many scientists have dealt with methods and practices both to prevent and address these phenomena (in-school violence, exclusion, etc.) in the school everyday life. However, innovative pedagogical practices based on methodological recommendations (models) that promote new approaches to education of these children in preschool age are limited. This paper presents a prevention program which enables students to develop cognitive and social skills through cooperation, interaction and relationship with their peers.  Aims to promote social competence of students and the elimination of social exclusion and violence at school. This program is based on the results of children's sociability prediction model research in kindergarten. The application is completed in three phases with the activities according to the national curriculum for early childhood education.
