Summary/Abstract: The article explains the inclusive education – new system solution for children with Down syndrome in kindergarten. In the following, I would like to elaborate on this in more detail. Parents of children with Down syndrome have established an agreement with the government of Wroclaw. In 2009 the director of the Education Department has introduced a new law. This is an innovation because in groups were included children with homogenous disability (it was common that children with different disabilities went to the same group). In this part I would like to answer the question: Why did parents consider inclusive education?The security of children with Down syndrome is mainly dependent on the relationships among peers with Down syndrome. Based on observation, I would like to present when these children build relationships and when they feel safe.The safety and the happy development of children is dependent mainly from the relationships between peers. On the basis of observations I show causes, conditions of building the relationships among these children.
