The article discusses organization of additional services in preschool educational institutions for educational robotics. Digital space, technology and artificial intelligence have absorbed the whole world today, without them it is impossible to imagine our existence. Preschool children deal with a wide range of interactive information and communication devices with elements of artificial intelligence from an early age. In this regard, the relevance of this study is determined by the necessity of forming a developing educational environment with a subject-spatial direction. At the same time, one of the important tasks of preschool education is the education of such members of society, who in the future will be able to easily apply the knowledge and skills obtained in preschool age in different spheres of life. The above-mentioned is important for the formation of the basics of engineering and technical thinking in the younger generation and, subsequently, for the training of engineering personnel for the industrial sphere. Having conducted the research using such methods as analysis, interpretation, system analysis, observation, and the study of children’s activity products, the author comes to the conclusion that robotics shows high efficiency in the educational process, allowing to successfully solve the problem of the development of children of all age groups.
