This article explores the impact of the STEAM methodology on the development of creativity in preschool children. The study highlights how integrating Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics into early childhood education fosters cognitive flexibility, problem-solving skills, imaginative thinking, and expressive abilities. Through structured activities, including art projects, interactive experiments, and collaborative play, children are provided with opportunities to explore, create, and communicate ideas effectively. The findings indicate that the STEAM approach significantly enhances preschoolers’ creative thinking, self-expression, and engagement in learning, providing a strong foundation for lifelong learning and intellectual development. This research emphasizes the importance of innovative pedagogical practices that combine interdisciplinary content with experiential and playful learning strategies.
