In my diploma thesis I am largely based on practical experience gained during practice in a preschool facility, which includes a special pedagogical center. I deal primarily with the specifics of the preschool facility, professional workplace and their mutual cooperation. I describe the implementation of inclusive education in the facility. The main topic of the work is the naming and definition of the main factors that affect the successful implementation of inclusive care. The research methodology is a case study. As the main method of data collection, I chose structured interviews and the study of documentation. The aim of the work is to present functional and practical recommendations for other preschool facilities that could help them in the implementation of inclusive education.
