The article tells about the actuality of the subject of preschoolers’ health status. The necessity of organizing the health saving process for preschool children is caused by understanding the fact that children may be taught easily in the early age and we should develop in them some habits of health promotion which will become a component of our culture and will influence the society positively. The essence of the health preservation process is explained in the article as well. The health saving process in pedagogical aspect is considered to be a value, a system and a result. Considering that health saving is a value in preschool education, it can be treated like a state, social and personal value. Health saving as a system characterizes the health aspect of functioning of preschool educational institutions the effectiveness of which depends on the aim and the content of the activity, on the tools which are used in the process of health saving and the principles which should be basic for this kind of pedagogical system. Among them are the principles of science, accessibility, visibility, consistency, age, taking into account individual characteristics, activity, humanization, democratization, integration, and unity of the kindergarten and the child's family. Health saving as a process in pre-school education involves the development, education and training which is not harmful to children's health and which creates safe and comfortable staying in kindergarten, provides individual educational trajectory of a child, prevents stress or some kind of overload or fatigue.The result of health saving activities in preschools is a basis of child's literacy, culture and competence. We believe that Ukrainian problems of health in kindergartens are particularly relevant; this is connected with the presence of negative medical and demographic situation in Ukraine and the unfavorable trend of indicators of children's health. Therefore, there is a necessity in the formation of new ideas based on the preservation of health and the child's consciousness, which requires the teachers of preschool education level to use careful selection methods, special tools, content and organizational forms. The problem for further research can be connected with the assurance of continuity in the organization of health saving process.
