Abstract: Excellence in education is achieved through a combination of disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches, ensuring the content is meaningful and relevant to all students. Consequently, it is crucial to focus on basic skills in science, reading, technology and engineering, arts, and mathematics (STREAM) from early education. The publication aims to explore the preschool teachers’ challenges in implementing STREAM education. The findings, based on a survey (mixed) research design, identify that the introduction of STREAM education in preschool requires a change in teachers’ thinking about the organization of the pedagogical process, to implement STREAM education principles, methodologies, and approaches that are appropriate to the perception and learning conditions of preschool children, thus ensuring the desired learning outcomes and sustainability.
