The article explores the theoretical foundations of preschool education, emphasizing the importance of the environment in a child’s development. It outlines the functions of an educational development environment, such as teaching, sociocultural, educational, cognitive, motivational, and communicative. The role of a bilingual educational environment in fostering language and cognitive abilities is highlighted, alongside four principles: natural conformity, cultural conformity, motivational support, and dialogic communication. The principles emphasize age-appropriate education, integration of cultural values, engagement through motivation, and dialogic interaction. The conclusion stresses the need for an environment conducive to creativity, cognitive activity, and self-expression, focusing on methodological, subject-spatial, sociocultural, and activity components.
