This research examines pedagogical technologies for developing preschool children's competence to make independent decisions in problematic situations. The ability to identify a problem, analyze possible alternatives, select an appropriate solution, and evaluate the consequences of one's decisions is an important component of a child's overall personal and cognitive development. Preschool education plays a significant role in establishing the foundations of independence, responsibility, critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving skills. The study discusses the theoretical foundations of developing decision-making competence in preschool children and analyzes the effectiveness of problem-based learning, игровое and role-playing activities, project-based tasks, collaborative learning, and situational exercises. Particular attention is given to the role of educators in creating a supportive educational environment in which children can express their opinions, make choices, learn from mistakes, and independently search for solutions.
