The future of young people is in their hands from an early but difficult age, in which the parent has no other role than to support. The old remark "You do it because I know it's better" is extremely dangerous these days because children are very curious and won't settle for ambiguous answers. This remark will only succeed in driving them away from subjugating them. The desire that both teachers and parents have in common is to raise successful people, capable of solving the problems that arise in everyday life. This desire requires continuous work from an early age. To succeed in forming successful future adults we must start from preschool age, discover their personality and help them shape it into the best form they are capable of. Finding a vocation is a complex process that takes the young person through various contexts and situations in order to realize their passions, personal talents, mission and those professional activities that can become a constant source of income. The aim of this research consisted in the development and implementation of an educational intervention program based on the Trick method aimed at forming the vocational identity of preschoolers. The results demonstrated the fact that the approach of the Trick method by both teachers and parents brings improvements in the sphere of skills necessary for the formation of preschooler’s vocational identity.
