Multiple education program
In kindergarten, the “Multiple Education Program” is implemented in which different educational approaches are combined. These applications are planned to be integrated with our primary school philosophy SEP and serve the same purpose.
- High Scope
- Reggio Emilia
- Nature-based education approach
In all three educational approaches, there is a process of questioning and arousing curiosity towards learning.
Learning Centers
Classroom environments consist of learning centers planned in accordance with the multiple intelligence model. Learning centers are as follows.
- science center
- Mathematics-Concept Center
- Art center
- dramatic game center
- block center
- Book and Reading and Writing Preparatory Center
Teachers create environments of curiosity about theme and achievement. By adopting the “active learning” approach, children are encouraged to participate in their own learning processes. In centers created according to this approach, children actively participate in their learning processes..
Nature-based education program
It is aimed that children plan and manage their learning processes by encountering nature itself and natural materials in the open field class, enable children to discover their interests with the structured guidance, and use natural materials that can be used in more than one way to encourage interest in the natural world and research.
The open space class encourages children to interact directly with nature. Playing outdoors, working with natural materials and exploring the environment helps children integrate with nature. These classes offer learning environments such as natural playgrounds and nature activities, which strengthens children’s interactions with nature and supports their learning.
Reading and Writing Preparatory Program
Reading and Writing Preparatory Program;
- book studies
- attention studies
- Sound studies
- It consists of math studies.
Sound-based education is the process in which we support one day a week with the primary school teacher, and reinforce what children have learned through book studies.
foreign language
The two most important factors affecting the process in the acquisition of the second language are the age of initiation of the second language, the intensity of practice and exposure. With our enriched bilingual education system Team Up, our students take the determined courses in Turkish-English simultaneously. With curriculum matching studies, it enables them to develop all the achievements learned in the mother tongue simultaneously in English, to gain academic language proficiency in both languages, to express themselves in both languages, and at the same time to create a sense of trust in the second language for the student. Thanks to our double teacher application in our various lessons such as nature-based, learning time and team up, our students acquire all the achievements at the same time.
With our Team Up system, they acquire not only academic but also values education, behavioral developments and cultural inputs in Turkish-English. At this age level, our priority is for our children to develop a positive attitude towards learning foreign languages, not to have fear, anxiety or anxiety about learning English, and to see foreign language learning as a natural part of their daily life and to enjoy this process.
Science is part of our daily life and arouses the child’s natural curiosity about his environment. Thanks to science, the child will begin to discover and learn about his environment. With the English Mathematics and English Life Sciences courses, which have started to be applied in our preparatory groups, our students use logical thinking to observe, collect information and draw conclusions. Involving students in applied activities with manipulative use helps embody mathematical concepts.
Psychological counseling and guidance
Our Psychological Counseling and Guidance Unit carries out the importance of family support and cooperation while working to recognize and develop the cognitive, social, emotional and behavioral characteristics of students within the framework of protective and preventive guidance.

It is aimed that our students make a healthy and happy school start by forming a secure bond. Within the scope of this goal, the orientation process is planned and our students get used to the school without feeling abandoned.

preschool period; It includes a period in which development is the fastest, the foundations of personality are laid, the child is most influenced by his/her close circle and is open to all kinds of learning. The development of social adaptation and skills in the first years of the child forms the basis of social adaptation and skills in the following years. For this reason, it is very important to develop social adaptation and skills in the pre-school period.

- Finger muscle measurement and support studies
It is very important to have the appropriate finger muscle strength so that our hands can be used at full capacity in daily life activities (self-care, eating, writing, cutting, tying, holding, etc.). Correct pen holding, correct typing position and correct use of hand-finger muscles facilitate the writing process and ensure that this process is completed without negative effects on the child.1. The psycho-motor evaluation of our student is made with the finger-muscle measurements made within the scope of class preparation studies and exercises suitable for this evaluation process are recommended.
