This scientific and methodological article proves the expediency of studying the issue of organizing a Ukrainian-language environment in preschool educational institutions as an important factor in establishing the national and civic identity of students. As cultural mediators, teachers play an important role in maintaining the continuity of spiritual and national values in times of trial. Greater attention to the development of a Ukrainian-language environment will contribute to the affirmation of national self-awareness and patriotic values among teaching staff, students, and their parents. The paper provides the first substantiated definition of the concept of «Ukrainian-language environment in preschool education institutions” and highlights the difference between this concept and related ones such as «language environment» and «speech development.» Based on the analysis of scientific approaches and the regulatory and legislative framework, a «Ukrainian-language educational environment in a preschool educational institution» is defined as a holistic, dynamic, and normatively regulated system that functions on the basis of the state language and is an instrument of comprehensive interaction between all participants in the educational process (students, teaching staff, and the parents of pupils) and subject-spatial resources. The author proposes a structure for a Ukrainian-language educational environment in a preschool educational institution, consisting of interrelated linguistic-communicative, sociocultural, subject-spatial, organisational-methodological, and value-motivational components. The Ukrainian-language educational environment in a preschool educational institution is a complex, multifunctional system that encompasses regulatory, legal, managerial, linguistic and psycholinguistic, sociocultural, educational, adaptive, and therapeutic functions, and managerial aspects of the institution's activities.
