The article provides a substantiation for the use of e-learning in developing interaction with the environment as soft skills in six-year-old children within preschool educational institutions. The essence of using e-learning in the organization of the educational process with preschool children and the specifics of developing their skills of interaction with others are revealed. The aim was to theoretically comprehend the problem through an empirical study of the use of e-learning in the real practice of preschool educational institutions (on the example of Ukraine and France) to develop interaction with the environment as soft skills in six-year-old children. The method used included the analysis of the educational process plans for six-year-old children and conducting a survey (based on the questionnaire, developed by the authors) of preschool teachers. The research group consisted of 28 educators, 17 of whom were from two preschool educational institutions of Ukraine and 11 ones from France, who work with six-year-old children. The analysis of the obtained results made it possible to analyse the state of real practice in the use of e-learning in developing interaction with others as soft skills in six-year-old children and to outline its feasibility for the system of preschool education. This formed the basis for the development of the conceptual framework of an experimental model for implementing e-learning in developing such soft skills as interaction with the environment in six-year-old children. Further research will involve specification of this model (selection of educational resources, didactic tools, diagnostic instruments, etc.) and testing it through the organization of the educational process in preschool institutions.
