Preschool age is considered a crucial period in a child's physical and emotional development, as well as in the formation and development of communication skills with others. The social environment influences the child's recognition of emotions and their development. This article analyzes the levels of empathy development in preschool children and their structural components. The article examines the theories of M. Hoffman, D. Goleman, J. Piaget, and L. Vygotsky regarding emotional processes, stages of empathy development, and the importance of the social environment in the formation of empathy. Additionally, the results of a practical study conducted using K.B. Bryant's "Empathy Index for Children" methodology are analyzed. The article has theoretical and practical significance for educators, teachers, and psychologists of preschool educational organizations.
