Sun Preschool's colorful polka-dot building and garden entrance
In Bahçeşehir since 1995 · Ages 2–6

A childhood rooted in nature, growing up with English.

A preschool where Turkish and English live side by side all day, and children learn by exploring a 280 m² garden.

THE SUN DIFFERENCE

Three things genuinely set us apart.

Playtime in the Sun Preschool garden
01

English throughout the day

Two teachers in every classroom — a classroom teacher and an English teacher throughout the day.

English is not a separate lesson — it is the language of play, meals and the garden. All of our English teachers hold at least a four-year bachelor's degree in their field and possess formal teacher training qualifications.

Nature & discovery school

280 m² garden, mud kitchen, chicken coop and woodworking studio.

We nurture children who plant seeds in our ecology garden, create with their hands in our mud kitchen, and explore craftsmanship by working with wood in our woodworking workshop.

Rooted, stable care

Our journey began in 1995 and has continued in our current campus since 2008.

The familiar faces your child sees each morning remain the same. Our Head Teacher has been with us since 2011, and our School Principal since 2013. We believe that a stable team provides the emotional security young children need to thrive.
