Summary/Abstract: The importance of planning quality when it comes to spaces and kindergarten buildings derives from the care of the child, the most sensitive and, to the impulses from the surroundings, the most perceptible member of society. The impact of the surroundings on shaping the child's personality consequently influences the cultural, social and environmental development of individual generations. Kindergartens in Slovenia were created during different time periods and are a product of the various social systems as well as the norms and regulations. In order to properly assess the quality of childcare, the quality of the already-constructed buildings and premises must be assessed, since they are also one of the three basic conditions for the establishment and functioning of the kindergarten. The article outlines the importance of registering kindergarten buildings, which represents the first step in the recognition of the current situation regarding the state of the kindergarten buildings in Slovenia. The registration was carried out as part of a wider research (CRP 2016–2019, Analysis of the situation in the field of architecture for public kindergartens and schools in Slovenia – registering, evaluating and protecting examples of quality (sustainable) architectural practices). The purpose of the registration is to identify the quality kindergarten buildings in Slovenia, the setting up of security mechanisms and the establishment of interdisciplinary criteria for an evaluation. The criteria for the quality evaluation are the basis for the implementation of new guidelines for the design and construction of kindergartens in Slovenia. 61 The importance of registration and evaluation of kindergarten buildings in Slovenia AR
