The role of educators in this phase is critical, and their professional competence directly impacts the quality of early childhood education. This article explores the various methods for enhancing the professional competence of preschool educators, including continuous professional development, mentorship programs, reflective practice, integration of technology, and collaborative learning. The study also emphasizes the importance of creating supportive institutional environments that encourage learning and growth.
