THE ROLE OF THE EDUCATIONAL TEAM IN IMPLEMENTING THE STEAM METHOD IN KINDERGARTEN

Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the role of the educational team in implementing the STEAM method in kindergarten, highlighting the importance of collaboration between all actors involved in the educational process. In early education, STEAM represents an integrated, flexible and child-centered approach that values play, exploration, experimentation, creativity and authentic problem solving. The effective implementation of this method cannot be achieved in isolation by a single teacher, but requires the involvement of a team formed by educators, principal, counselor or psychologist, auxiliary staff, parents and community partners. Each member contributes, through specific roles, to organizing the learning environment, supporting children's participation, providing resources, strengthening the partnership with the family and connecting learning experiences to social reality. The article emphasizes that teamwork, communication, shared responsibility and professional reflection are essential conditions for capitalizing on the STEAM method in early education. Through the effective collaboration of the educational team, STEAM activities become authentic, interactive and relevant, contributing to the cognitive, socio-emotional, creative and relational development of preschoolers.
