In Lithuania, before the COVID-19 pandemic distance education in the preschool education meant for reparation of a child ready for school was not applied, there were no specific guidelines, tested teaching platforms or pedagogic practices. The study deals with the results of a focus groups research performed in June of 2020, designated for discussing of experiences of the Lithuanian preschool education institutions in distance education gained during the quarantine (16/03/2020 to 29/05/2020) . The performed analysis of experiences in organisation of distant education in preschool education disclosed the essential challenges faced when applying this form of education in the education of six-year-old children. It has been established that the key challenges organizing distance education in the preschool education are related to lack of the IT solutions for distant education; readiness of the participants of the education process for distant education and engagement into such process of education, as well asthe lack of support from national and regional institutions in organisation of distant education. The results of the research open possibilities for further researches which are necessary for efficient and sustainable distant education integration into preschool education . In this background, explicit, deep research related to analysis of appropriateness of distance education platforms in the stages of early age, search for didactic solutions of digital content for them and deep researches of implementation cases and [etc. is](etc. is) necessary.  \nKeywords  \nPreschool education, organisation of education, distance education, COVID-19  \nO.Merfeldaitė, R.Prakapas & A.Railienė 141 Digital Education Review-Number 40, December 2021  \nI. Introduction  \nThe pandemic occurred in the end of 2019-beginning of 2020 strongly affected all areas of human life. According to the data of the World Economic Forum, globally, due to the COVID-19 pandemic almost 1.6 billion children in 195 countries could not normally study in their classrooms. Such physical close-down of schools caused a threat not only to the child’s right to education, but it also directly relates with decrease of human capital and economic potentials in the long-term prospective. Educators and scientists of educology rushed to search for ways out of the occurred situation. The existing technologies designated for distance teaching and self-learning were newly reconsidered looking for optimal solutions in the context of the present situation (Machynska & Dzikovska, 2020; Terenko & Ogienko, 2020) . Aiming to mitigate the threats, educational institutions switched to distance education. According to Roache, Rowe-Holder & Muschette (2020), the positive aspect of the crisis is that it stimulated development of distance education. On one hand, it is believed that such unplanned, fast and unprepared switch to distant education might give negative experiences in this form of education and interfere with development of innovations in education. On the other hand, it is presumed that this experience will allow modelling of a new, hybrid model of education and will facilitate the integration of information technologies into the processes of (self-) education, and distance education will become an insepa","cbCaiopmPQahfkgc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiopmPQahfkgc","pdf",122372,13,"English","en",105,"# Abstract\n# Keywords\n# I.
