Abstract: The survey is focused on the possibilities of using the effective contract as a tool of the internal personnel policy and as a way of implementing the objectives of development of a preschool education institution. For decades, kindergarten staffs and their characteristics have not undergone significant changes. The first changes in the motivation of educators were recorded by the sociological surveys after large-scale measures of raising the salaries in the education sector had been implemented. The obtained results make it reasonable to further support the ongoing wage reform, to alter the character of professional activity in preschool education as a strategic direction. Based on the analysis of the progress in the reform of salaries for teachers of preschool education and identifying the main trends in changing the institutions that ensured the introduction of the effective contract in 2012-2017, the authors come to the conclusion that further successful use of the principles of payment against the result is possible, provided the criteria of the performance recommended “from above” are specified more clearly at the level of individual education institutions and used to implement individual strategies of kindergartens’ development. The personnel policy becomes a resource for altering the content of preschool education, its focus on forming the skills of the 21st century. The source of data for the analysis were the results of the survey of educators at education institutions implementing preschool education programmes that was conducted in 2017 as part of the monitoring of education markets and organizations by the National Research University Higher School of Economics jointly with the Yuri Levada Analytical Center with the support of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation
