Through the Early Childhood Education Programme implemented by the Development Foundation of Türkiye in cooperation with UNICEF Türkiye, we carry out activities that support children’s early learning and development in Gaziantep, Hatay, Kilis and Şanlıurfa.
Play-based activities designed to encourage children’s active participation provide safe and inclusive spaces where children can learn and interact with one another. Through these activities, children have opportunities to gain new knowledge while strengthening their self-expression, peer communication, cooperation, problem-solving and creativity skills.
The activities take children’s individual needs and developmental levels into consideration, aiming to make learning accessible, supportive and enjoyable. Particular attention is given to enabling every child to participate according to their interests and individual pace of learning.
Quality learning opportunities during early childhood support children’s current well-being while also providing a strong foundation for their future educational journey.
As the Development Foundation of Türkiye, we continue working to strengthen safe, inclusive and child-friendly learning environments that promote children’s rights to learn, develop and participate.
