The development of emotional intelligence in preschool children has become one of the key priorities of modern early childhood education. Emotional intelligence enables children to recognize, understand, express, and regulate their emotions while establishing positive social relationships. Music and art therapy technologies provide effective pedagogical tools for fostering emotional awareness, empathy, self-expression, and emotional regulation among young learners. This study examines the methodological aspects of integrating music and art therapy into preschool education to enhance children's emotional intelligence. Particular attention is given to the educational reforms and preschool development initiatives implemented in Uzbekistan, where child-centered approaches and innovative pedagogical technologies are increasingly encouraged. The research highlights practical methods, including musical activities, drawing, painting, storytelling, creative expression, and therapeutic games, which contribute to the emotional and social development of preschool children. The findings suggest that systematic application of music and art therapy technologies creates a supportive learning environment that promotes emotional well-being, creativity, and social competence in preschool-aged children.References
