The equalisation of educational opportunities is a particularly important area in the overall education process. It is important at every education stage. However, it takes on a special meaning when it is implemented from the very beginning of education, i.e. from the pre-school education stage. This study aims at the presentation of certain shortcomings in the area of the equalisation of educational opportunities for children and pupils receiving pre-school and early-school education. When considering the existing conditions for the equalisation of educational opportunities for early-school children, we can state that it is still insufficient and incomplete. Any actions undertaken in this area require deep reflection and further improvements in the field of conscious and prospective educational investments in children and pupils who are in need of support and assistance.
