avje otrok in mladostnikov | health of children and adolescents 56 to know about him” (Krstović, 2009). Zuljan and Trošelj (2014) argue that the
range of skills that the educator has to master in order to provide the child with
optimal opportunities to realize his capacities is probably greater than in the
elderly. Our results show that knowledge statistically and significantly affects
both the frequency and duration of OGDP. From this, we deduce the impor-
tance of expanding seminars of continuous professional education with mod-
ern, new, innovative professional and scientifically supported content.

The third aspect is the importance of management support, which is
partly already linked to the previous conclusion. Support for leadership in en-
couraging and facilitating continuous professional development is also impor-
tant in providing knowledge to educators on the one hand, as well as for the du-
ration of the OGDP on the other.

Conclusions
The synthesis of results leads us to think that the environment in which kinder-
gartens work contributes to longer-term OGDPs by allowing educators to per-
form OGDP more often, and on the basis of better management support and
the provision of more in-depth knowledge, even to those educators working in
kindergartens with less favourable conditions for the performance of OGDP.
