Our programme and classes
We follow the Turkish Ministry of National Education's 2026 Preschool Education Programme. Each age group has its own classroom and its own programme; our aim is to prepare children for primary school and for life.
A separate classroom for each age
Our classes are named after shapes: a circle at 2, a triangle at 3, a square at 4, a pentagon at 5 and a hexagon at 6.
Every class is led by preschool teachers and child development specialists approved to teach by the Turkish Ministry of National Education. All day long, your child is with teachers who know the developmental stage of their age group well and follow each child's development closely.
Specialist lessons and workshops
Early maths
Counting, grouping, patterns, measuring and comparing. With hands-on materials, one step further at every age.
Science and experiments
In our science lessons we experiment: we observe, make predictions and talk about the results together.
STEM projects
We bring science, technology, engineering and maths together in a single project. Children design, build, test and improve.
Creative thinking with SCAMPER
"What if we swapped it, combined it, turned it upside down?" With SCAMPER questions we look at familiar objects with fresh eyes and come up with new ideas.
Brainstorming and problem solving
We brainstorm around problems drawn from everyday life. Children suggest solutions, listen to one another and choose the best fit together.
Sport
Part of every day. Yoga, gymnastics, dance and breathing exercises in rotation.
Coding
At every age, in an age-appropriate way: colour-by-code for the youngest; directional coding and coding with building bricks for the older ones.
Chess
Once a week for our 5- and 6-year-olds. We start by getting to know the pieces one by one.
Attention and patterns
A weekly attention, pattern and matching activity in every age group.
Everyday skills
Polite words, washing hands and face, using a fork and spoon, tying shoelaces and other skills for daily life.
Art, drama, music
Art with a different material every week, plus drama and music.
Cooking workshop
Children join in the kitchen with age-appropriate tasks: the little ones roll dough, the older ones measure and prepare.
Getting ready to read and write: when and how?
Up to age 4, our early literacy programme builds pencil grip, line work, listening and speaking skills.
Our 5- and 6-year-olds do sound work (phonological awareness). One sound is introduced each week, in the same order used in the first year of Turkish primary school, so children continue along a familiar path when they start school.
Traditions and special days
- Monday is Toy Day: children bring a favourite toy from home.
- Friday is Book Day: books brought from home are read in class.
- National days and observances: World Children's Day, Animal Welfare Day, Republic Day, Atatürk Week and the other days in the calendar are marked with activities suited to each age group.
A message is all it takes to meet us.
