Preschool education plays a crucial role in shaping children's cognitive and creative skills. This research article explores the key conditions necessary for fostering these skills in preschool settings. Drawing upon existing literature and empirical studies, it highlights the importance of a stimulating environment, supportive teaching practices, and appropriate curriculum design. Furthermore, it examines the influence of social interactions, play-based learning, and parental involvement in enhancing children's cognitive and creative development. By identifying these conditions, this abstract provides insights for educators, policymakers, and parents to optimize preschool environments for the holistic development of young children.
