Povzetek
V prispevku bomo svetovalno službo v vrtcu najprej umestili v širši teoretski okvir, zlasti na polje sociokulturnih teorij, kar nam bo dalo možnosti razumevanja raznolikih, med seboj povezanih in visoko strokovnih dejavnosti, ki jih svetovalne delavke v vrtcu opravljajo z namenom zagotavljanja dodane vrednosti h kakovosti predšolske vzgoje. V nadaljevanju bomo analizirali pomen in vlogo svetovalne službe na nekaterih izbranih področjih otrokovega razvoja in učenja v vrtcu ter pri tem opisali sistemske, preventivne in razvojne vidike dejavnosti ter delo z različnimi ciljnimi skupinami, kot so otroci, vzgojiteljice, vodstvene delavke, starši. Posebej bomo izpostavili tudi nujnost zagotavljanja ustreznih sistemskih in normativnih pogojev za kakovostno strokovno delo svetovalne službe v vrtcu.
