When forming moral and ethical education of children of preschool age in the course of getting acquainted with the nature, preschool teachers should use the achievements of national pedagogy, folklore works, develop children’s play and communication skills. The results of studying the problem of moral and ethical education of preschool children in the course of acquaintance with nature at the modern preschool institution are represented. The criteria for characteristics are determined; the levels of formedness of ecologically motivated behavior in preschool children are characterized. The experimental model of moral and ethical education of preschool children in the course of acquaintance with nature is represented. On the basis of the characteristics review, it can be concluded that the level of formedness of children’s ecologically motivated be-haviour has increased significantly. The difference to the good of the experimental group proves the advantages of creating the outlined pedagogical conditions for preschool children moral and ethical education when getting acquainted with the nature. Among the qualitative changes at the end of the experimental research it was determined that children show interest in the objects of nature, curiosity, the desire to communicate with nature, natural phenomena; understand and justify the need for a respectful and caring attitude towards all the objects of nature and so on.
