Professor Steps Class

Professor Steps Class: Strong Preparation for Primary School!

At İpekböceği Kindergarten and Nursery, we provide a special educational program that prepares children for primary school. The Professor Steps Class is a preparatory group for children aged 57+ months, designed to strengthen their cognitive, emotional, social, and academic skills.

During this process, children receive education aligned with the requirements of primary school, focusing on critical thinking, problem-solving, academic achievements, and social skills.

Our educational approach, enriched with the Discovery Curriculum, allows children to learn through experience, apply knowledge in daily life, and express themselves freely.

Education is provided under the guidance of two expert teachers.

What Do Our Children Do in the Professor Steps Class?

✔ We support independent life skills. We guide children to eat, dress, and maintain hygiene habits independently.

✔ We strengthen physical development. Sports and movement activities improve coordination, balance, and motor skills.

✔ We develop analysis and interpretation of basic and advanced concepts. Mathematics, objects, opposites/synonyms, emotions, problem-solving, and abstract thinking are reinforced.

✔ We enhance cognitive processes. Logical thinking, memory, and attention are improved with structured activities.

✔ We ensure children integrate learning into daily life. This strengthens their ability to connect knowledge with real-life situations.

✔ We develop social adaptation. Children learn empathy, group dynamics, and healthy peer relationships.

✔ We support identity and personality development. Children gain self-confidence, discover their individuality, and strengthen self-awareness.

✔ We improve problem-solving skills. Critical thinking and logical reasoning are encouraged to produce solutions for daily challenges.

✔ We maximize language development. Vocabulary, fluent speech, storytelling, and self-expression are supported.

Balance of Fun and Academics

✔ We foster imagination with art. Visual and plastic art activities enrich creativity and artistic perspectives.

✔ We strengthen auditory awareness with music. Songs, rhythm, and instruments develop musical abilities.

✔ We support physical capacity with sports. Activities requiring flexibility, endurance, and movement improve body awareness.

✔ With “See-Say-Recall” (phonological awareness) training, we develop sound knowledge. Weekly 60-minute sessions support phonics and correct pencil grip.

Making English a Natural Part of Daily Life

✔ In collaboration with English Kids Academy, we provide fun and interactive English education.

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

✔ By integrating English into daily routines, children naturally acquire a second language.
