This study examines the enhancement of methodological approaches for introducing preschool-aged children in preparatory groups to their surrounding environment through the lens of ecological values. The research addresses the critical need for integrating environmental education with early childhood development, proposing innovative pedagogical strategies that combine traditional ecological wisdom with contemporary educational technologies. The methodology encompasses experiential learning, nature-based activities, and value-oriented pedagogical approaches tailored to the cognitive and emotional development stages of preschool children. The study contributes to the theoretical understanding of early ecological education and provides practical recommendations for educators working with preschool children in preparatory groups.
