Cappadocia Montessori Kindergarten is a structured practice unit within the scope of the Child Development Practice and Research Center operating within the University of Cappadocia. The kindergarten serves with its original structure, which adopts the Montessori approach in the field of preschool education; it offers children a scientific learning environment based on a balance of freedom and responsibility, respecting the characteristics of individual development.

Educational environments are designed in accordance with the pedagogical approach developed by Maria Montessori in 1907. In the prepared learning areas, materials are made freely available to children, so that children develop their independence and become effective subjects of their own learning processes. Structured by developmental level rather than age group separation, classes support children's ability to learn and interact together. Experienced teachers in the field monitor and guide the cognitive, emotional and physical development of children with a holistic approach.

Cappadocia Montessori Kindergarten is also an important area of practice and observation for students of the Bachelor of Child Development Program. Students have the opportunity to experience the contemporary principles of preschool education in the field, interact directly with children, and turn their theoretical knowledge into practice. The presence of the kindergarten within the university structure ensures the continuity of applied education and academic supervision.

The University of Cappadocia offers children a qualified education through kindergarten, based on the Montessori method in line with its importance to preschool education, while at the same time training future educators with a strong academic and professional background.
