Purpose of preschool education:
As the first stage of the continuing education system of the Republic of Azerbaijan, preschool education is a priority area of sustainable development that takes into account the interests of the individuals, society, and the state.
Preschool education lays the foundation for the development of children's mental, physical, creative potential and cultural levels at the early ages. It is the base for children’s psychological stability, aesthetic education, mastery of simple work habits, sensitive and conscious attitude towards the environment and personal health, acquisition of necessary life skills, and personality development.
Preschool education is aimed at educating children in the spirit of national-moral and human values based on state interests and Azerbaijanism ideology; it prepares them for general education.

Admission to preschool education groups
Preschool education groups organized in schools accept children who live in the area where the school is located and have reached the age of 5 in the same year. If a school in the residential area does not have a preschool group, children may be admitted to the preschool group of another school.
Admission to preschool groups is based on the territorial principle only in a number of general education institutions in Baku. The territorial principle is not applicable in other districts and cities. Only children from IDP families are admitted to preschool groups in IDP schools.
