This article examines the pedagogical opportunities of using gamification technologies in the formation and development of professional competence among future preschool educators. It is theoretically substantiated that integrating game-design elements (points, rankings, staged progression, rewards, “missions,” and “challenges”) into the learning process strengthens learners’ intrinsic motivation, increases active engagement, and supports the development of practice-oriented competencies. The study highlights the role of gamification in fostering key components of a preschool educator’s professional competence, including methodological, communicative, reflective, innovative, and socio-psychological dimensions. Particular attention is given to modeling professional situations, organizing rapid feedback, and integrating reflective mechanisms as factors that enhance learning effectiveness. The findings may contribute to improving competency-based training within the preschool teacher education system.
