Summary/Abstract: The field of early character development and education is an exceptionally sensitive and important age, which represents the construct of the development of the whole personality. That is why the making of the curriculum in the field of early upbringing and education is also delicate and complex. The developmental curriculum, basically, lays emphasis on the activity and the participation of pupils in the educational work, as well as on the pedagogic professionalism of the educator, who by hearkening recognizes the signals, adjusts and accommodates his work, taking into account the needs, interests and possibilities of the children at a given moment and context. Therefore, the very planning process is not a mere distribution of the subject matter; rather it consists in the skill of registering the interests and the needs of the children and their incorporation into the educational activity. In the group there are always several topics on which one works simultaneously, some are only being born, one or two are already being dealt with, while some are at the close.
