This study examines the specific features of architectural and planning solutions in preschool institutions. A kindergarten gives children their first experience of social interaction, aesthetic education, and psychological development. Therefore, the relationship between the architectural environment in preschool facilities and children’s physical and mental health plays a crucial role in shaping these spaces. A well-designed environment supports a child’s harmonious development, influences both conscious and subconscious processes, and responds to their needs. The study aims to identify, examine, and clarify the most preferable architectural and planning solutions for preschool institutions. To achieve this objective, the authors applied mixed qualitative and quantitative methods. As a result, they identified the main types of architectural and planning solutions for kindergartens: centralized, block-based, pavilion, and gallery types. Based on an expert survey, the authors also defined the key requirements for designing preschool buildings and determined the most suitable type of architectural planning for the conditions of Russia and Kazakhstan. This allowed to propose a functional scheme for a preschool institution based on a centralized building type.
