Abstract/Notes: The subject of practice-based thesis was children’s emotional skills and emotional education in early childhood education. The mandator of the research, Montessori Daycare of Lahti had a need for tailored emotional education material for their daily life in the daycare. The aim of thesis was to produce functional material for emotional education and a guide for the use of the material to the mandator, Montessori Daycare of Lahti. The needs from Montessori Daycare’s daily life guided the planning process and it was developed by implementing short functional lessons on emotions with a small group of children. The purpose of the thesis was to give tools for emotional education for early childhood educators. The end product of thesis was emotional education -package, which contains puppets made by hand, some essential equipment for drama and a guide for implementing emotional education lessons. The package was designed so that it can be easily handled and carried around, which enables having lessons also outside of the daycare environment. The exterior of the package is designed to be in line with its contents and as a whole the material follows the guiding principles of Montessori education. Based on the trial use of the material and the following evaluation, the emotional education -package was found to be well functioning and the material can be used in the daily life of the daycare in addition to emotional education lessons. This shows that the aim and purpose of the thesis, producing tools for emotional education for early childhood educators, has been achieved. / Toiminnallisen opinnäytetyön aiheena oli tunnetaidot sekä tunnekasvatus varhaiskasvatuksessa. Aihe tuli toimeksiantajalta Lahden Montessori-leikkikoululta, jolla oli selkeä tarve heille räätälöityyn tunnekasvatusmateriaaliin. Työn tavoitteena oli tuottaa tunnekasvatuksen toiminnallinen opas ja siihen liittyvä materiaali Lahden Montessori-leikkikoululle. Materiaali suunniteltiin päiväkodin arjesta nousseiden tarpeiden mukaan, ja sitä kehitettiin toteuttamalla toiminnallisia tunnehetkiä päiväkodin lapsiryhmälle. Opinnäytetyön tarkoituksena oli antaa varhaiskasvattajien käyttöön lisää työkaluja tunnekasvatukseen, tunteiden tunnistamiseen, nimeämiseen ja käsittelyyn lasten kanssa. Opinnäytetyön tuotoksena valmistui tunnekasvatussalkku, joka sisältää itse valmistetut käsinuket, tarvittavat draamavälineet sekä oppaan tunnehetkien toteuttamista varten. Salkku on suunniteltu niin, että sitä on helppo käsitellä ja se on kätevästi mukaan otettavissa, jolloin tunnehetki on mahdollista toteuttaa myös päiväkodin ulkopuolella. Salkun ulkoasu on suunniteltu yhteneväiseksi sisällön kanssa, ja se on Montessori-oppien mukainen valmisteltu kokonaisuus. Kokeilun ja arvioinnin pohjalta voidaan todeta, että tunnekasvatussalkku on toimiva kokonaisuus, ja materiaalia voidaan hyödyntää myös päiväkodin arjessa varsinaisten tunnehetkien ulkopuolella. Tämän perusteella voidaan todeta, että työn tavoite ja tarkoitus tuottaa varhaiskasvattajille käytännön työkaluja tunnekasvatuksen toteuttamista varten, ovat toteutuneet.

The thesis consists of two parts. The first part is theoretical and contains chapters on children's communication and communication with children, its forms and specific aspects; language and language acquisition, bilingualism, the founder of Montessori education, the Montessori education per se and communication with children according to its principles.

It focuses on the characteristics and specific features of teachers' communication with children in Montessori pre- schools. It includes the description of communication environment which complements the teachers' communication with children. It also contains semi-structured interviews with teachers and photographs in the attachment. / Cílem této diplomové práce je charakterizovat komunikaci učitelek s dětmi batolecího a předškolního věku z mono- i z bilingvních rodin, v zařízeních typu Montessori nebo v zařízeních touto pedagogikou inspirovaných.
