Most nurseries in Turkey (Türkiye'de fidanlık) offer preschool education for children aged between 3 to 6 years old. The Ministry of National Education in Turkey recognizes that education provided during the preschool years affects the development of the child in later years. However, attending a preschool is not compulsory.
Preschool education in Turkey aims to prepare children for primary school by developing their mental and physical abilities, as well as their language skills.
There are three types of nurseries in Turkey, the kres and yuva (day nurseries from 3 years old onwards), anaokulu (kindergartens for 3 - 5 years old), and anasinifi (preschool classes for 5 – 6 years old).
