The article deals with the notion of secular spirituality. It provides the analysis of a specific nature of educating children of elder preschool age, which assures praxiological dimension of secular spirituality. This paradigm is closely related to ecology of thought. Spiritual education of children is one of the most challenging and important areas of educational research. Spiritual and moral education is a complicated psychological and pedagogical process of transferring the objective requirements of morality in the personal beliefs of a child. The core of spiritual and moral education is the interiorization, that is, the translation of the moral demands and moral principles of a society into the inner attitudes of a person. Theoretical studies of the concept of spirituality made it possible to state the following. Spirituality is the core of person's inner world, the result of manifestation of one's will to power over oneself, which makes it possible to look at the world differently, to feel it in a different way, to take an active part in its constructive transformation with the orientation at providing the good, keeping one's conscience and honor, the sense of solidarity and justice. Secular spirituality is a reference point for the search for the meaning of life which demonstrates the ability to change a person's lifestyle, one's behaviour and even one's attitude to death. Secular spirituality manifests itself as dominating orientation of moral consciousness at the key values: life, freedom, equality, solidarity and justice. It has made itself known as a factor of the formation of a person's inner world, providing the socialization of a personality and society formation. The core of moral education is parents' love for each other, as long as the family primarily affects the level of spirituality of a child. Parental love and reciprocal feelings of a child, family traditions, attitudes to work all these factors lay the foundation for person's morality. Theoretical studies in the field of spiritual education have also revealed the phenomenon of overprotection, that is, a method of education which involves excessive care after a child. Parents are ready to satisfy their child's slightest whims, protect their child from any illnesses and try to prevent any danger. As a result, a child becomes a dependent person, selfish, demanding, unable to make decisions. It is better to give a child more freedom and trust him. It is necessary to conclude, that constant psychological contact with a child is a general requirement for cultivating his/her morality. Feeling and experiencing the contact with parents enables children to feel and realize their parents' love, devotion and care. The basis for keeping this contact is being sincerely interested in everything which happens in a child's life. When a child takes part in family's life, sharing all its goals and plans, one can expect an educative dialog with a child to emerge.
