The paper considers the use of health-saving environment in preschool educational institutions. The health-preserving environment model allows a child to develop favorably in a preschool educational institution. In the process of testing this model, we used the following research methods: analysis of scientific and methodological literature, morphofunctional indicators, analysis of physical fitness, methods of mathematical statistics. Initial analysis of morphofunctional indicators showed that all indicators meet the standards for this age of children, but the level of these indicators is not high enough. The analysis of physical indicators of preschool children corresponds to the average value for this age, but a large percentage cannot meet these requirements for the level of physical fitness. We obtained positive results in the course of the experiment for all the studied indicators, after the introduction of our model.

The research proposes the cognitive semantic analysis of 50 children's blogs. Using cognitive semantic analysis and the experiment method, the research identifies lexical-semantic domains based on the blogs’ concepts. Therefore, it explores the role of culture in children's blogs published by authors from different countries. The cognitive semantic analysis reveals that the key themes in children's blogs are sport, books, entertainment and games, music, fashion, nature and environmental protection, travel and so forth. The sample consists of 625 schoolchildren studied in grades 1, 5, 9 and 11. The research finds there is a cultural component in children's blogs. Future research should focus on the analysis of different blogs, not only for children, but also for adults, and the development of lexical and semantic domains based on key themes and concepts.
