DIDACTIC REQUIREMENTS FOR ORGANIZING THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS IN MULTI-BRANCH PRESCHOOL EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS
Keywords:
Early childhood education, multi-branch governance, didacticsAbstract
Multi-branch preschool education institutions combine diverse settings under a single pedagogical governance, creating both opportunities and risks for the quality and equity of early learning. This article formulates a coherent set of didactic requirements that ensure curricular continuity, developmentally appropriate practice, and contextual flexibility across branches. Building on a systematic analysis of international frameworks in early childhood education, classical developmental theories, and contemporary design-based principles, the paper conceptualizes how a shared pedagogical core can coexist with micro-curricular adaptations to community needs, linguistic profiles, and resource conditions. The proposed requirements emphasize play-centered and inquiry-rich learning, integrated thematic planning, formative assessment for learning, inclusive strategies for children with diverse needs, multilingual and culturally responsive environments, intentional use of digital and material resources, and continuous professional learning communities that bind branches into a single reflective system.
