Contact & school visits →What ages do you accept?
Our current preschool programme is for children aged 3–6. Please call us to discuss whether there may be an option for a two-year-old and to confirm the conditions.

Of course. Call 0555 160 55 54 and we can arrange a visit to Kurupelit or Balaç.

The school day runs from 08:00 to 18:00. Meals are breakfast at 08:30, lunch at 12:00 and an afternoon meal at 15:00.
How do fees and availability work?
Fees and places depend on campus, age group and term. We do not publish outdated prices; call us for current information.
What activities are included?
English, German, yoga, P4C, gymnastics, forest education and guidance are among the programme areas. A full-time psychologist follows children’s development.
What happens on toy and book days?
Mondays are toy day and Fridays are book day. Please choose items that are safe to share and that your child would be comfortable bringing to school.
How do you support sleep and settling in?
We follow each child’s pace and work with families. Bedding, pyjamas and a familiar soft toy can help with the sleep routine.
How can I contact the school?
Call 0555 160 55 54 or visit the contact page for campus addresses and map links.
What should children bring for personal care?
Please keep clean spare clothes and underwear in your child’s bag. We recommend weekly nail trimming and comfortable, tidy hair.
What happens on forest education days?
We walk, explore, set up a tent and try simple outdoor skills. Please send weather-appropriate outdoor clothes, rain boots in winter and spare clothes. We cancel in very cold or heavy rain.
How are birthdays celebrated?
Birthdays are usually celebrated around 15:00. Families may bring a cake and natural fruit juice. We cannot accept cakes with heavy sugar paste or dark food colouring. Please confirm the number of children with the teacher.
What is the Behaviour Hero routine?
Each week, one child is recognised for positive behaviours. The routine helps children notice their own and their friends’ kind actions.
How do you support mealtimes?
We prepare weekly menus and offer small tastes of each dish. Children may ask for more of what they enjoy, and families receive a daily update about meals.
What is BOB’s home visit?
BOB, the class toy, visits one child’s home each week. The child shares photos and stories with the class the next day.
How do you support privacy and toilet learning?
We support age-appropriate independence and body awareness. Children who need help can ask a teacher or staff member.
What is Çam Ağacı Anneleri?
It is a family community for conversations, social responsibility projects and shared memories.
