Preschool institutions offer today different additional programs that children can attend. One of those programs that offers to all children is religious education. This kind of program can be implemented in any kind of preschool institutions, whether it is a private or state preschool institution. The condition is that the parents are interested for this kind of program and that the educators who carry this program go through additonal education. Religious education is based on several factors: on the psychology of human development, the sacrament of baptism, the presence of children in divine revelation, the dignity of children in the light of the word of God, and the responsibility of the parents and the Christian community who have taken it over the child's baptism. In order to respond as much as possible to the needs of the child, it is necessary to look at every part on which religious education is based. When all the components are viewed and analyzed, then the program can be created and its implementation in the educational group can start. Finally, the program that has been implemented can be evaluated, and from the results obtained, the educators can find out what was useful to children and what they have learned. Evaluating the program is important just like creating a program, because ultimately it is all doing to enable the child the fullest possible growth and development.
