Montenegro Inclusive Education Services
1. Introduction “We could see the happiness on their faces”
The IPA project EU-Montenegro Inclusive Education Services, Contract No. 2011 / 274-926, implemented the pilot Preparatory Kindergartens in Podgorica and Nikšić in the last two weeks of June 2012. The manual has been written for future kindergartens and is based on the experience gathered in the pilot action. What does the manual serve for? Our aims are: • To document all steps carried out in the pilot Preparatory Kindergarten • To give practical tools • To evaluate the pilot kindergarten • To facilitate implementation of Preparatory Kindergarten for RE children as an integrated part of the formal preschool education system The manual will serve as a guide in addressing issues related to the preparation, implementation and evaluation of Preparatory Kindergartens for RE children. The manual has been written in a way to show the experience gained through the Preparatory Kindergarten carried out during the MIES project in 2012 (in further text the abbreviation PK is used) and to recommend activites for the coming years. The aim is to share the experiences gathered during the pilot implementation and give practical ideas for future work in preparation of the RE children for succesfull further schooling.
