A Learning Environment in Touch with Nature: The Garden of İpekböceği Kindergarten

İpekböceği Kindergarten and Nursery offers a spacious 750 m² garden where children can spend time in nature, explore freely, and enjoy discovery-filled experiences. Away from the busy rhythm of city life, our garden provides a place where children can touch the soil, learn through play, and grow naturally.

Discovery Curriculum and Nature

One of the core principles of the Discovery Curriculum is that children learn by experiencing nature firsthand. That is why our garden is designed not only as a play area but also as a natural learning laboratory.
