The methodology is based on the following:
• The Law of Georgia on Early and Preschool Education and Care and the standards defined following it;
• The mission, vision, and values of the kindergarten;
• The educational and administrative guidelines of the founding organization/franchise provider company of the Montessori Universe preschool education institution;
• The guide Methodological Guide for Strategic Planning;
• The guide Authorization Standards Guide for Early and/or Preschool Education Institutions.
The curriculum framework of the Montessori Universe preschool education institution is a document that defines the structure and content of the educational program designed for children aged 3 to 6. This framework is based on the exclusive franchising program of Montessori Kids Universe (MKU) – Montessori Kids Universe DaVinci Kids – and has been adapted to meet the local context and national standards of Georgia.
The document outlines the theoretical foundations, goals, and content components of the program. It also describes the principles of its implementation, curriculum methodology, physical environment, educational resources, assessment system, and other key aspects.
The purpose of the curriculum framework is to ensure a high-quality, child-centered educational process tailored to developmental needs. It aligns with both the principles of Montessori education and the national standards for early childhood education services in Georgia.
The framework is grounded in the idea of supporting the holistic development of the student, including physical, cognitive, emotional, and social skills, and connects MKU’s international experience with the practices of delivering early childhood education services in the local context.
