Annotation The development of older preschool children independence is a key task of preschool education in Russia; therefore, the search for optimal conditions for the development of independence becomes an urgent area of research. Currently, the potential of integrating children’s activities for the development of children’s independence has not been sufficiently studied. The purpose of the study is to study the features of the integration of children’s activities in the educational process of kindergarten as a condition for the older preschool children independence development. It is assumed that the integration of children’s activities can be considered as one of the ways of organizing the educational process in kindergarten, contributing to the development of children’s independence. The novelty of the research is connected with the justification of the integration of children’s activities as a way of organizing the educational process in kindergarten and highlighting its key characteristics. The study of the educational process based on the integration of children’s activities has been carried out using theoretical methods: analysis of domestic and foreign studies revealing the features of the integration of children’s activities in the educational process and methods of empirical research: observation of children and a teacher according to the developed criteria, conversation with teachers, evaluation and analysis of the components of the educational process. The article reflects the results of qualitative and quantitative analysis, which have allowed us to conclude about the key characteristics of the educational process based on the integration of children’s activities that contribute to the development of children’s independence: inclusion of educational situations based on the integration of children’s activities, implementation of a supportive way of teacher interaction with children; availability of an accessible developing subject-spatial environment in a kindergarten group; organization of a temporary kindergarten environment with a uniform organization of free activity of children and activities regulated by the teacher. The prospects of the study are related to the improvement of the characteristics of the kindergarten educational process based on the integration of children’s activities for the development of preschool children.
