The purpose of the article is to identify, theoretically justify and experimentally test the effectiveness of organizational and pedagogical conditions to enrich vocational and labor ideas in older preschool children with mild mental retardation. The main methodological base is a group of theoretical scientific methods related to the analysis of empirical data. Empirical data are obtained as a result of diagnostic methods, using methods of observation and conversation. The effectiveness of the program to enrich vocational and labor ideas in senior preschoolers with mild mental retardation has been confirmed. The close and significant relationship between the observation by children of specific labor activities of people of working professions with the enrichment of their vocational and labor ideas has been diagnosed.
