The article highlights the theoretical and methodological foundations for ensuring continuity in national and patriotic education of senior preschoolers and primary school pupils. The relevance of the research lies in the need to develop civic consciousness, patriotic values, and national identity in young children amid educational reforms and current societal challenges. The object of the study is the process of national and patriotic education of children of senior preschool and early school age. The purpose of the study is to substantiate theoretical and methodological approaches to the implementation of the principle of continuity between preschool and primary school in the system of national and patriotic education. The methods used include analysis, synthesis, comparison, systematization, and pedagogical forecasting. Based on the works of Bekh, Bohush, Sukhomlynskyi, Kuzmenko, and Karamushka, the psychological and pedagogical foundations of the development of patriotic feelings were identified. The result of the study is the definition of a continuity structure grounded in the unity of educational content, forms of activity, and pedagogical partnership. Methodological conditions for ensuring continuity are proposed: harmonization of educational programs, implementation of joint projects, and the formation of a value-semantic space for the child. The practical significance lies in the possibility of applying the results in the professional training of preschool and primary school teachers.
