Abstract

This article examines the advancements in Uzbekistan's preschool education system, emphasizing the implementation of scientific methods in preschool pedagogies to enhance educational outcomes for children aged 3 to 6 years. Since the establishment of the Ministry of Preschool Education in 2017, the country has undergone significant reforms aimed at improving inclusivity and accessibility to preschool education, especially in rural areas. The structure comprises kindergartens, nurseries, and private childcare centers; all aligned with national curriculum standards focusing on holistic child development. Key methodologies explored include activity-based learning, which fosters engagement through play and hands-on experiences; an individualized approach that tailors education to meet each child's unique needs; and integrated learning that connects multiple subjects to create cohesive educational experiences. Moreover, the continuous professional development of educators is emphasized as a vital element in maintaining quality assurance within preschool institutions. The findings highlight the comprehensive framework aimed at fostering emotional, physical, and intellectual growth, ultimately laying a strong foundation for lifelong learning in Uzbekistan.
