In today’s globalized world, early foreign language education is becoming increasingly important. This research investigates the use of modern interactive teaching methods in pre-school organizations and how they contribute to young learners’ language development. Drawing from recent pedagogical theories and practical classroom applications, the study emphasizes how child-centered, play-based, and technology-supported approaches enhance vocabulary retention, pronunciation, and communicative skills in a foreign language. The findings highlight the role of the teacher as a facilitator and the learning environment as a critical factor in language acquisition. Recommendations are provided for pre-school educators to adopt innovative strategies tailored to the developmental needs of young learners.
