The role of Nursery school manager in developing inclusive education

Early inclusive education plays a significant role in upholding principles, and the leadership of early childhood and preschool institutions is crucial in this regard. The management style and working practices of these institutions have an impact on the quality of early education. Therefore, it is the manager's responsibility to ensure that he and his team create an environment where everyone is respected, valued, and welcomed with joy. As part of our research, a study on the experiences and attitudes of managers in the kindergartens of Telavi Municipality has been planned. he research revealed that the assessment of kindergarten operations is not conducted in terms of the development of early inclusive education. However, respondents believe that an early inclusive education strategy should be in place in kindergartens. According to this strategy, educators should actively participate in working with children instead of solely referring children to specialists for special needs (except when absolutely necessary). In this regard, the training of kindergarten managers is crucial, as well as further raising awareness on this issue.
