A method of questionnaires used for the quantitative part gained information of 147 respondents. The quantitative part with the use of profound interviews maps attitudes and experience of two respondents, a student and a graduate of masters in pre-primary pedagogy. The outcome of the gained data shows that the main motivation to study preschool pedagogy comes from qualification requests in order to work at preschool education. The desire to fulfil a personal vision to become a preschool teacher plays a great part. The survey shows that the lack of time and energy to study due to family and job requirements creates a significant obstacle to study. Family support plays an essential role in education and managing studying tasks.
