Context and relevance. At the beginning of the 21st century, preschool childhood is increasingly exposed to global civilizational influences, threatening its transformation into the initial stage of organized education and upbringing of a child with a predetermined set of competencies that allow them to take a worthy place in the technological chain of training a human machine completely immersed in its functions (educational, industrial, family, etc.). The presented provisions actualize the problem of childhood safety, which has growing theoretical and practical significance. Objective. To update the understanding of safety and the value of preschool childhood as a cultural phenomenon and a fundamental issue in developing preschool education, especially in light of the exacerbation of global problems faced by humanity at the beginning of the third millennium. Hypothesis. Reflection on the genesis of scientific knowledge about the amplification of child development, introduced into circulation by the theory of activity of A.V. Zaporozhets and the position of L.S. Vygotsky on the zones of child development, will allow us to develop theoretical foundations for the development of ideas about modern preschool childhood as a cultural phenomenon and its safety. Methods and materials. Achievement of the goal and verification of the realism of the working hypothesis were accomplished through a combination of theoretical research methods: analysis, synthesis, induction, and deduction. Results. The conducted research allows us to state that the avalanche-like growth of scientific and technological achievements, leading to an increase in the density of events in preschool childhood, actualizes the problem of safety of the child's physical and mental development. Conclusions. Scientific reflection on the research problem allowed us to formulate a number of theoretical provisions that make it possible to resist the transformation of preschool education into a sphere of satisfying the requests of collective adults for the intensification of a child's development (often achieved through the conversion of means and methods of school education and upbringing), by creating an educational environment in preschool educational organizations and in the family that is safe for the child's physical and mental development. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of using the materials of the article in the development of conceptual provisions of preschool education
