The modern education system must listen to the needs of the members of the educational community and look for solutions to problems and impasses. Today's educational policy requires the upgrading of the quality of education, in order to provide the individual with knowledge and skills, in order to successfully respond to the ever-growing needs of society and the labor market. The teacher as the "head" of the learning process is called upon to apply pedagogical manuals in practice and to organize his teaching based on them. Curriculums offer important guidelines especially to new teachers, having incorporated modern practices and innovative programs. However, other factors, such as school climate and discipline, play a decisive role in successful teaching. The creation of a positive climate in the school environment has multiple benefits for the psyche of students and their interactions. The purpose of this research is to investigate the views of General and Special Education Kindergarten teachers on the implementation of the curriculum and its effects on the quality of the school climate and discipline. The results showed, among other things, that the teachers assessed it as very important to have a positive climate in the school, while there should be discipline and compliance with the rules, in order to avoid the manifestation of negative behaviors. In addition, it emerged that school climate and discipline are influenced by the years of professional experience of teachers, while the effect of position of service on the quality of discipline is significant.
