Curriculum development competencies are an important part of kindergarten teachers' professional development and have been widely valued around the world. This study explored the theoretical foundation behind the curriculum development competencies of kindergarten teachers. This study used a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to explore the theoretical foundation framework of curriculum development competencies for kindergarten teachers. Ultimately, this study found that the theoretical foundation framework of curriculum development competencies of kindergarten teachers is constructed from competencies theory (Iceberg competency theory and Onion competency theory), curriculum development theory (Tyler curriculum theory and Taba curriculum theory), and early childhood education theory (Montessori education theory and Chen Heqin education theory). This theoretical foundation framework provides theoretical guidance for kindergarten teachers, the kindergarten curriculum system, and kindergarten teacher training, ultimately improves the quality of early childhood education.
