The textbook presents the implementation of a new strategy for the formation of older preschoolers in a developing educational environment. The competency paradigm is hypothetically described as the formation of self-esteem in older preschoolers during the transition to the next primary stage of education. The manual examines examples of practical solutions to such problems of older preschoolers as the development of “sprouted spontaneity” (L. S. Vygotsky’s expression). The main educational program for working with older preschoolers assumes the concepts “Emotion - communication - image” as starting points. New strategy - new technological solutions as the basis for the activities of students in interaction with older preschoolers. Identifying leading ideas is a requirement of a new strategy.
