About Us

Bahçeşehir’s deep-rooted, bilingual preschool.

Since 1995, a place where children grow up with two languages and with nature. Thirty years in the same garden, with the same belief.

Our Story

From a small garden to a well-rooted school.

We started in 1995, when Bahçeşehir was still a brand-new neighborhood, in a small house with a garden and just a handful of children. For many years we were known as EuroSun; today we carry on in the same garden, with the same belief, as Sun Preschool.

Our goal was simple: to build a place where children speak two languages, touch the soil and make real things.

Today we carry on in that same garden, with a team most of whom have been with us for years. Much has changed; our belief has stayed the same.

Our Values

Four things that make us who we are.

01

Bilingualism is a way of life, not a lesson

Turkish and English live side by side all day — at play, at mealtimes and in the garden.

02

Learning with nature

Soil, water, trees and living things; our best classroom is our 160 m² garden.

03

Deep, lasting relationships

The faces a child sees every morning don’t change; trust begins there.

04

Every child at their own pace

From caterpillar to butterfly; development is a journey, not a race.
