MANAGING A MODERN PRE-SCHOOL EDUCATION ORGANIZATION

Abstract

This article examines the theoretical and practical foundations of effective management in modern pre-school education organizations in Uzbekistan. The study emphasizes that pedagogical management is a system of principles, methods, organizational forms, and technological approaches aimed at increasing the efficiency of the educational process. Special attention is paid to the role of leadership, organizational culture, communication, motivation, planning, control, and staff loyalty in ensuring the sustainable development of pre-school education institutions. The article analyzes the importance of a person-centered approach, in which every member of the pedagogical team is regarded as an essential participant in the common educational mission. The legal basis of pre-school education management is also considered, particularly the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On Pre-school Education and Upbringing.” The study concludes that the successful functioning of pre-school education organizations depends on competent leadership, transparent governance, effective teamwork, and the ability of managers to respond flexibly to social and economic changes while ensuring the physical, intellectual, and personal development of children. Background: In the context of modern educational reforms in Uzbekistan, the role of effective management in pre-school education has become a critical factor for institutional development. The transition to innovative management models requires a deep understanding of pedagogical management principles and their practical application. Purpose: This article aims to analyze the theoretical and practical foundations of managing modern pre-school education organizations (PEOs), focusing on the integration of person-centered approaches and the legal framework of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Methodology: The study employs a systemic approach to pedagogical management, viewing the educational process as a complex structure of interconnected elements. It analyzes current legislation, specifically the Law "On Pre-school Education and Upbringing," and incorporates the theories of leading specialists in educational management. Results: The author identifies key management tools: hierarchy, organizational culture, and market relations. The article outlines twelve fundamental principles of management, emphasizing loyalty to staff, transparency, and timely response to social changes. Furthermore, the study highlights the importance of the Pedagogical and Supervisory Boards in the governance of state-owned PEOs. Conclusion: The study concludes that successful PEO management depends on the synergy between competent leadership and a person-centered approach. For sustainable development, leaders must adapt to changing economic conditions while ensuring the physical and intellectual well-being of children through a coordinated team effort.
