Summary/Abstract: This paper presents activities specific to educating language inpre-school learning system. Language and communication are one ofthe most important areas for all the learning levels. Correct speakingis the basis for all the human activities, therefore teaching childrento speak literally correctly is a duty that every teacher has. Is isobvious that educating language and communication is necessary inall specific activities like: didactic games, stories, stories based onpictures, dialogues as well as in mathematical activitues, learningabout the environment, drawing, etc. In fact, all types of activitiesrequire that the focus should be on:The correct pronunciation ofspecific words;Making correct sentences from a phonological lexical,grammatical point of view because they speak about actions, describespecific objectives and evaluate individual and collective activities;The importance of educating language and communication at preschoollevel is placed in the top of the national curriculum in the preschooleducational system. It is largely discussed about and educationis done according to the age of the children. A child is a uniquehuman, a special one who is continuously growing up to become anadult. All the knowledge he/she acquires is stored within, in apersonal style, in order to be used when he is an adult.Our concerns regarding mental health have increased due to our participation in a European project on the labour and society insertion of youth suffering from a mental disorder. The follow-up of this project is a new project whose target group are the elderly suffering from a mental condition. After documentation and study of literature, we have identified some relevant aspects regarding mental health in Romania. Though our country has made significant progress in this area, the socio-professional reinsertion of these people remains an issue. The aim of the project is this particular aspect, i.e. the reinsertion of the mentally disordered people. We believe that social integration facilitates a faster and more efficient recovery. Another aspect identified in the studies but also in practice, refers to insufficient knowledge of the characteristics of mental disorders, hence the population`s attitude and prejudices. We aim through our research to signal and bring awareness upon the fact that mental health is a sensitive area, yet curable like any other disease if interventions use specific tools adapted to the needs of each suffering person.
