There is a summary of the role of holidays and traditions in the context of the current framework curriculum for pre-school education and their importance for pre-school education. The practical part of the thesis is focused on the research survey in which the effort was to find out which holidays and traditions are included by the nursery school itself into the class program during the year and how the folk customs and traditions described in the theoretical part are most often passed on the children of the current nursery school.

In the final part of the thesis is presented a concept for a week program based on the outcome results obtained from the own survey. The program is focused on the time period around the end of autumn and the begining of winter and is called "Welcome St. Martine - winter is soon about to hit.
