However, in practice there is a lack of management competence, a problem of misunderstanding arises both between the manager of a pre-school institution and the teachers, and among the teachers themselves. This is the reason for weakening of institution effectiveness. The aim of the research is to analyze the attitude of pre-school supervisors, teachers and students (future teachers) to the management competence problem in the context of educational activity with evaluation of readiness of teachers to work under the conditions of changes and competition. The quality of management functions in every day activity of teachers and depends upon the management competence state of pre-school education teachers.
