This study examines what kind of good things are done to others in two daycare groups. The aim of this study is to show positive things that are happening in daycare. This study is approached with positive concepts which are for example empathy, sympathy, prosocial skills, compassion, good manners, positive psychology, sensitive adult and interaction. Doing good to others is defined in this study through these concepts. This study has been done by observing a group of 3-5 year olds and a preschool group. Observing has been documented by video camera. Both groups in this study were a part of Pieni Oppiva Mieli (POM) -project in year of activity in 2016-2017. Looking at the results both groups had their own emphasis on doing good to others. The 3-5 year olds group had the emphasis on helping, good manners, praise, team spirit and supporting. The preschool group had the emphasis on praise, good manners, tenderness, humor and being happy with each other. According to this research, there were lot of doing good to others in the studied daycare groups. Adult’s strong role in doing good to others showed in the results.
