Based on the analysis of classical and modern studies, the author formulates the author’s definition of “cognitive activity of preschool children” as a motivational basis for children’s activities and research behavior; the quality of personality that affects the formation of initiative and independence in various types of activities; the condition for obtaining a higher result of activity and increasing the significance of the process of cognition for the child. The place of cognitive activity in the structure of children’s activities is shown. The system of cognitive activity of a preschooler is represented by two subsystems: the search for information and the use of experience in activities. The idea of the need to integrate the content of the knowledge areas for the initiation of cognitive activity of preschoolers is proved. Two types of cognitive activity of 3–7 years aged children are revealed: independent and initiated by an adult. The levels of preschool children`s cognitive activity are characterized: reproducing, heuristic, creative. The article substantiates the potential of three types variable educational routes technology using (“help”, “support”, “development assistance”) for building targeted support for the cognitive activity of preschool children.
