Summary/Abstract: Everyday life is associated with subjective meanings, not perceived from outside; in this reality, people can feel problems they deem most important for themselves, they speak of what they believe is of significance. Assuming that everyday life is filled with colloquial meanings organizes the man’s thinking and acting, I undertake the problem of describing the functioning of a beginner teacher in the everyday life of a kindergarten. In this text, while making references to my own results, I attempt to find a reply to the ques- tion of what importance is attached to the professional everyday life by teachers who start their professional activity. The analysis shows a subjective perspective on the viewing professional eve- ryday life. The analysis aimed to provide a reconstruction of the meaning attributed by preschool teachers. I describe thoughts, constructs, fears, and expectations revealed by teachers.
