One of the most relevant problems in such multinational country with variety of totally different cultures as Russia, is the problem of tolerant attitude education. Preschool education and upbringing as early stage in moral development of a child should play a special role in solving the problem of tolerance establishing. Unfortunately, modern pedagogical science doesn't pay sufficient attention to the problem of educating tolerant attitudes in children of older pre-school age to people of different nationalities. In our opinion, pedagogical conditions for this activity realization were not properly developed. It is necessary to work out theoretical principles and scientific-methodological support for educating tolerant attitudes to people of different nationalities among children of older pre-school age due to the following contradictions: at social-pedagogical level — between the needs of modern society in personality, who is capable of building relationships with people of other nationalities on tolerance basis, and insufficient elaboration of theoretically proved mechanisms and approaches to educating tolerant attitudes to people of different nationalities among children of older pre-school age; at scientific theoretical level — between modern developmental level of scientific ideas about tolerance and insufficient elaboration of modern scientific justification and technologies of educating tolerant attitudes to people of different nationalities among children of older pre-school age; at scientific methodological level — between formal admission of necessity to develop education of tolerant attitudes to people of different nationalities among children of older pre-school age and the weak elaboration of scientific methodological support of this pedagogical process. All this stipulated the purpose of the study: theoretical justification and experimental verification of effectiveness of pedagogical conditions for educating tolerant attitudes to people of different nationalities among 6–7 years old children in the preschool education system. The article represents the model for educating tolerant attitudes to people of different nationalities among children of older pre-school age in the preschool education system. Within our research framework, we consider pedagogical conditions as functional elements of this pedagogical model, providing achievement of a specific pedagogical goal.
