Early Learning Programs – Parent to Parent of Georgia


Young children (ages 1 to 5) are usually found at home, in child care, in public programs such as Early Head Start, Head Start or Georgia Pre-K, and in neighborhood preschool programs. Young children with disabilities may also be served in these settings as well as in public or private preschool programs designed specifically for children with special needs.

Head Start

Head Start and Early Head Start programs provide many different early childhood and family development services for children birth to five years old, pregnant women, and families. These high quality services are provided to encourage healthy development in low-income children and their families. In the Head Start and Early Start programs, at least 10% of the children should be children with disabilities.

Preschool Special Education

Children ages 3 through 5 who are eligible for special education services may be served by their local county schools. Your Babies Can’t Wait Service Coordinator will contact the school system before your child turns three to arrange a meeting to plan your child’s educational program. Preschool special education services can be delivered in many settings.

Private Preschool Programs

There are many private preschool options available to young children. Some of them may be specifically for children with disabilities, while other private programs are run by churches and other organizations. As you consider private preschool programs, you may want to ask if children with and without disabilities are welcome and included.

Early Learning at Home

Children do much of their learning at home. Playing with your young child is a great way to spend time together to and model play behavior and other learning skills. It is also a great way for siblings to be able to interact with a brother or sister with developmental delays.

Georgia Pre-K

The Georgia Pre-K program is funded by the Georgia lottery and is open to all four-year-olds in the state. If a child is 4 by September 1st of the school year, they may attend free of charge. Pre-K slots are filled on a first come, first served basis. There is no special preference given to children with disabilities.  More than 84,000 children attend Pre-K each year, but there are often waiting lists because there are limited slots available. Pre-K classes may be in private preschools or public schools.

Georgia’s education system: structure and features

Georgia’s education system was formed on original national principles. The most famous center, where Georgia’s education originates, dates back to the 17th century. This is the Gelati monastery, which stood on a par with the universities of Paris and Bologna. nine0009

At the beginning of the 20th century, national traditions and the desire for a new life overcame the mass illiteracy of the republic, and in the 80s justifiably secured the reputation of an educated nation for the Georgian nation. Today, in 75% of general education Georgian schools, teaching is conducted in the Georgian language. And in educational institutions of higher education – at 100%. But the economic and political instability of the 90s predetermined the subsequent problems of destruction and the difficulties of preserving the educational system of the republic. Sovereignty, which was not easy for Georgia, disrupted all financial injections from the budget of the Russian Federation, thereby excluding the second most important source of funding. nine0009

Preschool education

Difficulties in financing the education system of sovereign Georgia dealt a tangible blow, first of all, to the functioning and development of Georgian preschool institutions. In a short period of time (2 years), the number of children attending kindergartens has decreased significantly due to the introduction of a monthly parental fee, the amount of which averaged $14. Fortunately, the remaining pre-school institutions with lower fees could generally provide both maintenance and food for the children staying. But the quality of these services left much to be desired. The system of municipal food procurement for kindergartens from 1992 years old and for 3 years laboriously regulated her work.

The emergence of private general education schools in Georgia is a clear indicator of the unstable situation prevailing in the municipal education system and secondary education in Georgia as a whole. The problems are the same: maintenance, nutrition, development. Fees in private schools are prohibitively high, but, as the results of examination tests show, justified. Municipal schools are getting out of a difficult situation in the traditional way: they are looking for charitable partner assistance in the West, and more often – representatives from local philanthropy. And today this is the only correct decision of the heads of Georgian educational institutions. As a result of this division, an objective situation of competition arises. But therefore, all educational institutions of the West have passed the way. nine0009

A similar situation is now observed at the level of higher education. The structure of universities is noticeably divided into public and commercial. Needless to say, the number of applicants to the latter is much higher than the number of applicants (and students) of the state, who have only one thing left: to register and open licensed private educational services. These are some specialties and faculties in the spirit of economics and modern politics. Of course, the honor of the country in the direction of training highly qualified personnel is supported by the head of state – universities are opened with the founding right of partnership between Georgia and abroad. But this option does not give absolute guarantees for the long term, primarily financial stability. That is why the payment for education will not decrease, but will grow. The famous School of European Management Education in Georgia is funded by the Shevardnadze Foundation. nine0009

Of course, all teaching is provided by the best staff of European scale and special training. However, the tuition fee for this School is at least $500 per year, which is in line with Western standards, but hardly affordable for the average Georgian student and family. The Tbilisi branch of the university in Hawaii, created not without the influence of the head of state, educates young talents in diplomacy, government and media law for 7 thousand dollars a year, while a graduate can only apply for a bachelor’s degree. The expected result “surpassed” itself: the number of enrolled applicants in the summer is 1994 years amounted to 20 people.

Jointly with the National Academy of Social and Political Sciences and the Institute of Public Administration of Georgia prepares specialists in study programs using textbooks, analogues of which exist only in American universities. The tuition fee is over $10,000. Of course, quality is the main task, but how many specialists does Georgia receive and will receive in the end? Where the graduates of these universities will be employed is still an open question, or maybe a deliberately closed one. But in the Republic of Abkhazia (a vivid example is the Gali district), the policy regarding the education system is completely opposite. The government of the republic adopted a resolution on the Russian language as a mandatory and basic language for teaching in schools. The Georgian language in the educational system of Abkhazia is given to oblivion. Although most of the students (respectively, their families) are Georgians. nine0009

Summarizing all that has been said, one thought should be taken into account: the education system of Georgia is going through a difficult time in its history. The government does not yet see an opportunity to improve the current situation, and it is not solved overnight. Subsidizing the educational industry is an even more difficult issue. The responses of American investors have had their results so far – good results of the results of the Unified State Examination. But patriarchal Georgia knows well that until order is restored inside its house, no compassionate guest will do it.
