Özel Egeberk Anaokulu

The school aims to raise globally-minded, independent, and lifelong learners who are connected to their local values while remaining open to universal principles. It prioritizes the development of children's psiko-motor, social, emotional, linguistic, and cognitive skills through a creative and inquiry-based educational approach. The institution is committed to Atatürk’s values and fosters an environment that encourages research, self-confidence, and environmental awareness.

As an authorized IB World School, the institution implements the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) for all students. The curriculum is designed to be inclusive and inquiry-based, focusing on developing students who are knowledgeable, open-minded, caring, and reflective. Teachers create differentiated lesson plans tailored to the diverse learning styles and intelligence structures of the students.

While the school does not provide formal special education services, it employs a pedagogical approach that supports students with diverse learning needs, including those with attention deficit and hyperactivity, speech disorders, social adjustment issues, and learning difficulties. If a student is identified as needing additional support after enrollment, the school collaborates with parents to determine an appropriate, inclusive learning plan.

The school serves children aged 3-6, categorized into 4, 5, and 6-year-old (pre-primary) groups. The admissions process involves an initial school visit and meeting with the school principal and pedagogue, followed by a formal application, student interview with the guidance department, and parent-teacher meetings. Enrollment is finalized through the e-okul system, and required documentation includes identification copies, health reports, and vaccination records.

The academic year follows a standard school calendar, with registration typically beginning alongside primary school enrollment periods. The school also operates a Summer Discovery Camp, which includes specialized programs such as nature exploration, swimming, and English language courses.

The campus is situated on a total area of 2,800m², comprising 1,600m² of indoor space and 1,200m² of outdoor space. The facility is designed to support the developmental needs of young children in a secure environment.

The school emphasizes social and experiential learning through various projects and activities, such as the 'Birlikte Yaşam Kültürü' (Living Together Culture) project, which incorporates Reggio Emilia-inspired approaches to teach empathy and democracy. Students participate in social responsibility initiatives, such as collaborations with LÖSEV, and attend educational conferences. Additional activities include seasonal summer programs focusing on nature, swimming, and language development.
