Kindergarten is the first step in education for our children, where we meticulously plan and create opportunities with care and dedication from the moment they become a part of our lives to ensure their optimal development and growth. All research indicates that the early childhood period, covering ages 0-6, is the fastest-developing phase for children. During this age range, approximately 70% of children's cognitive, emotional, social, physical, and personality development is predominantly completed. During this period of rapid learning and personality development, the behavior patterns and skills acquired by our children lay the foundations for success in life.

As Eyüboğlu Education Institutions with a rich 54-year history in education, our fundamental goal is to cultivate successful young individuals who are bilingual, contemporary, innovative, and grounded in the principles and reforms of Atatürk. In line with our objectives, we take into consideration the developmental characteristics, individual differences, and talents of our students.

We provide enriched environments that support physical, emotional, social, cognitive, and language development, laying the foundations for positive personalities, bringing out their creative aspects, fostering self-confidence, instilling a sense of responsibility, enabling problem-solving, decision-making, and developing expressive skills, all contributing to the cultivation of happy individuals.

Eyüboğlu Education Institutions, as the first Turkish educational institution accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS) and recognized for the world-standard quality of its implemented education programs, holds the distinction of being the most accredited Turkish educational institution globally. The accreditation of all Eyüboğlu schools by the Council of International Schools (CIS) signifies that the academic programs, physical conditions, and all services implemented in our schools meet international standards.

In our kindergartens, the inquiry-based program consisting of units, owned by Eyüboğlu Education Institutions, is implemented by being integrated into the Turkish National Education curriculum. In the implemented program, students are provided with a rich curriculum and classroom atmosphere that integrates technology, centers around active inquiry with their teachers, and ensures enjoyable learning experiences through play, exploration, hands-on activities, and experiential learning.

In our kindergartens, English language education is a strong aspect, implemented through an intensive program. Students receive a daily half-day English language program led by native English-speaking teachers. In reception classes, a focused English program is provided to support students' English language development in parallel with their native language. To enhance our students' social skills, branch courses such as Visual Arts, Folk Dance, Yoga, Swimming, Chess, Gymnastics, Drama, Physical Education, and Computer are integral components of our educational program.

Our Guidance Counseling department collaborates with our teachers in a coordinated effort to monitor and share the development of students in emotional, cognitive, social, and behavioral domains, ensuring their path to becoming healthy individuals and communicating with our valued parents. Due to our belief that education extends beyond the school, we consider communication between the school and families to be crucial and valuable.

We believe that the tiny hearts and hands of our children are our future, acknowledging the responsibility of shaping our future. With the awareness that we will fulfill this responsibility together with you in the best possible way, we invite you, esteemed parents, to Eyüboğlu Batı Ataşehir Kindergarten.
