Abstract: Abstract As the burden of finding sustainable solutions to managerial problems affecting ECE centres that are part of Moscow's regional educational parks falls within the duties of school principals, the question “Based on what objective characteristics and using what tools do principals make managerial decisions?” arises. The study was carried out to provide answers to the following questions: 1. What do school principals understand by “quality of early childhood education”? What is the ideal preschool? 2. How do principals measure the quality of early childhood education in their institutions? Is there a set of indicators? 3. What conditions, in the principals’ opinion, need be created, or what conditions have been/are being created to improve the quality of early childhood education? This work outlines a qualitative study carried out in the form of focused interviews. The data studied shows similarities and differences in the views held by Moscow's regional educational park directors on the quality of early childhood education. Cognitive graphs were built for three main groups of ideas about the quality of early childhood education based on interview results.
