Initially launched at 6 Yuvamız İstanbul Preschools, these centers organize two-hour playgroups for children aged 4–6 years.

Children Play, Families Take a Break

At the Yuvamız İstanbul Short Term Break Centers, preschool children without access to education are supported with age-appropriate games and educational activities. During these sessions, children socialize with their peers and experience developmental growth in just two hours.

This service is also invaluable for families, especially mothers, who can leave their children in a safe and nurturing environment without worry.
