This article explores the role of historical figures’ lives in the moral upbringing of preschool children. It highlights the pedagogical potential of using biographical stories of great personalities to instill values such as honesty, justice, patriotism, kindness, and responsibility in early childhood. By adapting complex life events into age-appropriate narratives, educators and parents can help children connect abstract moral concepts with concrete examples from history. The study also discusses how integrating historical role models into preschool education strengthens children’s cultural identity, fosters respect for heritage, and prepares them for responsible citizenship in the future.
