Abstract
School performance and also further life and career successes depend on the development of executive functioning. The development of executive functions has a greater influence on school readiness than intelligence quotient or a preliminary level of mathematical or reading skills. The article presents the program of the Executive Functions Development Stimulation, which aims to support the child in the area of basic competencies connected with the process of learning and problem-solving capacities. The program is based on an innovative concept of working with children using the method of Executive Functions Integration, which employs an innovative tool – interactive floor.
