Assistant Steps Class

Assistant Steps Class: Time to Learn with Fun!

At İpekböceği Kindergarten and Nursery, the Assistant Steps Class is specially prepared to support children’s cognitive, physical, emotional, and social development. It is an educational environment for children aged 34–38 months, where they discover learning while having fun.

During this period, our children begin to develop self-care skills, strengthen social communication, and start learning basic academic concepts. Thanks to our program enriched with the Discovery Curriculum, children learn through experience, exploration, and active participation.

In our classroom, education is provided under the guidance of two expert teachers.

What Do Our Children Do in the Assistant Steps Class?

✔ We support independence in self-care skills. We guide children in acquiring daily life skills such as using a fork and spoon, dressing and undressing, washing hands, and toilet training.

✔ We develop age-appropriate motor skills. We organize activities that support physical development, coordination, balance, and motor abilities.

✔ We teach basic concepts and values through play. Colors, shapes, numbers, objects, opposites/synonyms, emotions, and values are reinforced with play-based learning methods.

✔ We integrate learning into daily life. We ensure children apply the knowledge they acquire in everyday situations, supporting permanent learning.

✔ We develop social adaptation skills. Children learn empathy, sharing, communication, and teamwork with peers.

✔ We help children discover themselves and recognize their individual characteristics. We provide experiences that boost their self-confidence.

Learning with Fun: Play, Art, and Music

In the Assistant Steps Class, movement, art, and music are essential building blocks of education.

✔ We develop children’s creativity through art activities. Visual and plastic art practices allow them to strengthen emotional expression.

✔ We support auditory development with music and rhythm activities. Songs, rhythm practices, and trying instruments enhance children’s musical perception.

✔ We support children’s physical development with sports club activities. Age-appropriate sports practices help improve muscle growth and motor skills.

Making English a Natural Part of Daily Life

✔ With “Learning Time” and “Playing Time,” we conduct sensory and interactive English activities.

✔ By integrating English into different moments of the daily program, we help children naturally learn a second language.
