Abstract
The holistic-integrative discourse is the basis of the concept of a quality preschool educational process. Accordingly, the modern preschool curriculum should follow the modern holistic paradigm and it should be based on holism as a philosophical-humanistic approach, which interprets the socio-emotional relationship of man and nature as a unique ecologicaldevelopmental phenomenon. The curriculum should be developmental, it needs to provide an integrative approach towards the development of the children and promote education based on the nature of the child. The goal of this paper is to analyze the segments of the preschool curriculum in the Republic of Macedonia, which contain and promote holistic-integrative postulates for planning a quality holistic educational process. Using the descriptive method, we analyzed: - The objectives of the preschool curriculum, the way and the extent to which it is oriented towards the nature of the child; - The philosophical postulates of the preschool curriculum; - The structure of the syllabus; The conclusions, elaborated in the paper, indicate that the curriculum has potential for planning holistic-integrative education in the Republic of Macedonia.
