This article examines the scientific and theoretical foundations of economic education for preschool children based on STEAM technology. The study analyzes the psychological and pedagogical prerequisites for forming economic concepts in early childhood, the essence and principles of STEAM technology, and the methodological approaches to integrating economic education with STEAM components. The research investigates the theoretical frameworks underlying the development of economic literacy in preschool-aged children, including constructivist learning theory, developmental psychology perspectives, and modern pedagogical innovations. The article presents a comprehensive analysis of how Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics can be systematically integrated to create an effective methodology for economic education in preschool institutions. The findings demonstrate that STEAM technology provides a robust theoretical and practical foundation for developing economic concepts, skills, and attitudes in young children, preparing them for successful participation in modern economic life.
