The reason of the research problem. The authors present the basics of designing educational programs in preschool educational organizations, taking into account the actualization of the content and orientation of educational activities in accordance with the Federal Educational Program of Preschool Education, including the Federal Working Program of Education. The article substantiates the need to update the preschool education programs in order to rethink traditional values by teachers as key guidelines for educational work.

Tasks and methods of research. Special attention is paid to the scientific substantiation of the place and role of education in modern education, the design of program documents based on the value orientations of educational activities. On the basis of a comparative analysis, the terms are disclosed and the foundations of education are described – "way of life", "educational environment", "communities". Based on the analysis of the documents of the preschool educational institution and the products of educational activities, examples of the description of the way of preschool educational organization are given. Options for modeling and designing educational activities in the context of social and pedagogical partnership between an educational organization and a family are presented.

Data and results of the study. The article reveals the purpose, meaning and general philosophy of the educational organization, its mission, principles of life and upbringing in kindergarten, the image of the kindergarten, its features, symbols, image. Practical examples are presented of describing the way of life and communities through the presentation of program data that reveal the relationship between children and educating adults (parents, teachers, etc.), which is reflected in the rules, traditions and rituals, norms of etiquette in preschool. Emphasis is placed on the presentation of the developing subject-spatial environment, reflecting the image and values of the ECСE. Working data is presented on the description of the socio-cultural context that determines the essence and specifics of the educational environment. A novel of scientific and methodological support for the implementation of the Federal Working Program of Education - a practical guide to " To the Educator about education " is given.

Conclusion. The presented model of the organization of educational activity in a modern kindergarten reveals interrelated components: values as the purpose and essence of education; stages of educational work, meaningful formats of interaction of participants in educational relations. The practical guide "To the Educator about education" proposed by the authors focuses on the implementation of a pedagogical model that will help the leaders and educators of preschool educational institutions competently organize educational work aimed at introducing children to the values of Russian society in accordance with the Federal Educational Standard of Preschool Education.

The relevance of the subject of the article. Preschool educational organizations are actively implementing various electronic learning tools – laptops, interactive whiteboards, digital laboratories, 3D pens and much more. The use of these tools to enrich the educational activity of the child and increase the diversity of his independent activity is an important task of modern preschool education. The research of the attitude of teachers to the use of technical devices in working with children is an urgent problem, the study of which will reveal the features of the use of electronic learning tools by educators.

The aim of the study: to identify the attitude of educators to the use of electronic learning tools in the educational activities of preschoolers.

Methodology: individual structured interview.

Description of the research progress. The sample consisted of 50 teachers of preschool educational organizations in Ivanovo. Teachers were asked to answer a number of questions on the use of electronic devices in their professional activities. The statements showing the respondent’s attitude to the use of technology in working with children, the opportunities for the development of the child that the teacher sees in the use of modern technology, the problems and difficulties encountered in the process of using electronic devices were carefully studied.

Research results. Educators actively use technical devices in working with children. Most often, technical devices are used by teachers to increase the visibility of classes, as well as a surprise moment to attract the attention of children. Most of the interviewed educators would not like to use technical devices in every exercise. They explain this by the fact that it is more important for a preschooler to gain experience of live communication, subject activity and independent work with various materials. Among the main problems of teachers in working with technical devices, one can single out the unavailability or malfunction of electronic means, as well as the lack of consumables and the difficulty of mastering computer programs.

Conclusion. The main problem in the attitude of teachers to modern technical devices is the contradiction between the wide opportunities for conducting classes that technology gives to the educator, and the possible harm to the health and development of the child. Teachers regard electronic learning tools as a resource for additional audiovisual support of classes and do not see the potential of technical devices to enrich children’s independent activities in the classroom and in the play. Using technical devices in working with children, teachers proceed from the leading position of an adult and define the lesson as the leading organizational form of work with preschoolers.

Relevance of the article. In the modern world, as a result of the rapid development of medicine and the possibilities of caring for children, the number of children with special developmental needs is sharply increasing. This leads to an increase in disability, especially in cases where it is not possible to identify developmental disabilities at an early age and begin to take action. This is facilitated by the model of medical care in which the doctor has limited time to monitor the child. Therefore, in working with small kids, there is a problem of non-detection of deviations in development arises. On the other hand, even when children who need special conditions are identified, there is a problem of inaccessibility of developmental and educational services to children with disabilities at an early age (from birth to 3 years); lack of conditions for the formation of an inclusive environment in preschools (large group size – up to 30 people; lack of specialists in preschools; lack of network mechanisms for interaction with the territorial system of early intervention; a large variety of educational cases, etc., in the absence of an assessment of the quality of these resources.

The aim of the article. Development of an automated system “Child’s World”, aimed at early detection of developmental disabilities through pedagogical, parental and medical monitoring.

Description of the research progress. Monitoring was based on teachers’ observation over the behavior of children in nurseries and kindergartens and fixing of the results of the teacher’s observations of children in the system. In addition to teachers, the children are monitored by doctors and parents. The self-learning system adjusts the scores depending on the increase in the number of participants in the system. Based on the data obtained in the system, a psychological and pedagogical commission is organized in kindergarten. If necessary, parents are advised to contact the Psychological, medical and pedagogical commission, where specifics of development is verified and recommendations are made for the conditions of the child’s education. An adapted program is being developed in the kindergarten, observations are continuing and their recording is being carried out. The system is adjusted no more than once every six months.

The results of the study. The project was supported by the Agency for Strategic Initiatives, adopted as a good practice and discussed at a meeting of ASI experts. In December 2021, the project was also presented at the meeting “Digital Transformation in Preschool Education” at the Analytical Center under the Government of the Russian Federation. The project is currently being tested. In parallel, the artificial intelligence system is being trained.

Conclusion. The Information system was developed with much more functionality than expected, including not only pedagogical monitoring, but also medical; teachers of three regions (Klin, Moscow region; Omsk; Kazan, Republic of Tatarstan) were trained in five educational complexes. Pediatricians and nurses were trained in five medical institutions. Parents, whose children participated in the testing, were also trained.

The relevance of the article. Relevance. In today’s rapidly developing world, where sustainability and environmental awareness have become major global issues, special attention should be paid to early childhood education and the promotion of sustainable values. One of the key tools in this process is high-quality children’s media content.

Research objectives. The article examines the importance of high-quality content in children’s media to promote sustainable values and improve early childhood development. The necessity of creating high-quality content in the media for young children is discussed, high-quality content is determined and evaluated, and how it can raise awareness and cause changes in social behavior is investigated.

Research progress. The article takes a case study approach and analyzes Kozalak Preschool, an animated series created by the author of the article that models sustainable practices and encourages children to connect with nature. The series, created as part of the Increasing Quality of and Access to Early Childhood Education Services Project (ECE) in Turkey and serves as an example of how quality content can promote sustainable behavior and support early childhood development.

Conclusions. High-quality content serves as a powerful tool for promoting sustainable development and shaping a more optimistic future. Through the integration of educational elements, positive role modeling, socio-emotional learning and an emphasis on environmental awareness, children’s media can help young minds become catalysts for change. By cultivating an understanding of sustainable development and strengthening commitment to environmental protection, high-quality content in children’s media can have a long-term impact on their development and inspire them to become active defenders of our planet.

The relevance of the topic of the article. The problem of adaptation of younger preschoolers to the conditions of preschool education is one of the most urgent in connection with the importance of finding effective means to optimize the reduction of the period of habituation of young children to a new social situation.

The aim of the study is to describe an experimental study and the results of optimizing the adaptation of children of the 3rd and 4th years of life to the conditions of preschool education when using game exercises with elements of nonverbal communication.

Description of the research progress. According to the hypothesis, game exercises with elements of nonverbal communication contribute to the optimization and reduction of the period of adaptation of younger preschoolers to the conditions of preschool education. The empirical study involved 40 children of the 3rd and 4th years of life, divided into two groups: experimental (EG) and control (KG). The study was conducted in three stages: ascertaining diagnostics, developmental classes and control. During the assessment and control, modified observation maps were used to diagnose the peculiarities of the emotional state of children, including indicators of nonverbal behavior and communication of children. In developing classes with EG children, game exercises with elements of nonverbal communication were used, forming an address to a partner (peer, adult). 12 classes were held (15-20 min.) 3 times a week for a month. The results of both groups were compared with each other. Methods of mathematical statistics were used in the processing of quantitative data of psychological and pedagogical experiment.

The results of the study. Classes in the EG allowed to reduce the period of adaptation of children of the 3rd and 4th years of life to one month with the expected effect: the emotional background of the EG children became steadily positive, the level of play activity and interaction with peers increased.

Conclusion. The results confirmed the hypothesis and allowed us to clarify information about the differences in the development of children of the 3rd and 4th years of life due to the effects of experimental classes (in EG) and without it (in KG).

The relevance of the subject of the article is due to the need to form a grammatical structure in older preschoolers in the second language. The grammatical categories of aspectuality and temporality are the most important categories of coherent Russian speech. It is these categories that cause the greatest difficulties for children. We put forward a hypothesis that if, within the framework of literary education of children, we analyze the categories of aspectuality and temporality – draw the attention of preschoolers to the peculiarities of using the aspect ratios of the Russian verb, teach them to correctly reproduce aspect ratios in the process of retelling the text or compiling their story – then the effectiveness of work on the formation of the grammatical structure of Russian speech, the quality of the construction of coherent Russian speech will increase significantly.

The purpose of the article is to show the results of a study on the use of methodological techniques for the formation of grammatical categories of aspectuality and temporality in the Russian speech of bilingual children.

The course of the study. The experimental work was carried out on the basis of kindergartens with the Tatar language of education of the Republic of Tatarstan. In these kindergartens, children learn two languages – Russian and Tatar. At the same time, Tatar is their native language. The experiment took place in 2020-2022. The data obtained were compared with control groups in which work on the categories of aspectuality and temporality was not carried out. The total sample was 334 children of senior preschool age (161 in experimental groups, 173 in control groups). In a pedagogical experiment, we tried to focus children’s attention on the specific features of the Russian verb, to use the identified features when children construct retellings of the text they heard or when constructing their stories in Russian.

The results of the study were positive: there are practically no changes in the number of speech errors in the control groups, in the experimental groups there is a significant decrease (on average by 34%). This proved the effectiveness of methodological techniques for working on the categories of aspectuality and temporality.

Conclusion. The results of the study convince that the work on the development of the grammatical structure in bilingual children in Russian should take into account the typical speech mistakes of older preschoolers: incorrect use of prefixes and suffixes that convey the specific shades of the verb; the use of verbs of the present tense instead of the past; the use of past tense verbs instead of the present; inability to convey the action in the future tense; incorrect inclusion of imperfect verbs view into the content of the narrative about actions in the past tense. In this regard, it is recommended: to use special methodological techniques in the work on the development of speech of older preschoolers: the reception of compositional dismemberment of the narrative structure, the reception of the statement of action in imperfect verbs, the reception of the statement of action in perfect verbs, the reception of compositional reproduction of the narrative structure.
