Summary/Abstract: Preschool education is the foundation of mother tongue education, and is one of the main pillars of national identity. Effective planning of the kindergarten network requires knowledge of the future development of the number of preschool age groups. The paper presents the results of the projection of the number of Hungarian speaking 3–5 year-olds in Transcarpathia in the 2018–2022 period. This data may determine the demographic basis of the Hungarian kindergarten network in the near future. The number of Hungarians, ethnically mixed Hungarian-Ukrainians, and Hungarian-speaking Gypsy children were counted separately, because the extent and possibilities of inclusion of the three groups in Hungarian kindergarten education differ. The study also includes the categorization of Transcarpathian settlements based on the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the Hungarian-speaking kindergarten children living there.
