The Preschool Preparation Program (Pre-School Steps – PSS) at Gymboree Ataşehir is a carefully designed program developed by experts, focusing on children’s social, emotional, and cognitive development. The program aims to prepare children not only for school, but also for life beyond the classroom.
Throughout the program, children are supported in developing their communication skills, friendships, creativity, and self-confidence within a safe and structured classroom environment, while parents wait comfortably at our center café.
The PSS Program at Gymboree Ataşehir is conducted under the guidance of two certified expert teachers who have successfully completed Gymboree training.
The program is implemented using a
“play- and creativity-focused, follow the child’s lead” approach.
Our classrooms are enriched with play-based original activities, books, puzzles, and creative materials designed to support language development, foster a love of reading, and make learning a joyful and meaningful experience.
The Gymboree Ataşehir Pre-School Steps Program supports children through a secure and healthy separation process from their families, while also aiming to provide a positive first school experience.
With this approach, children transition into school life feeling more confident, happy, and well prepared.
In line with the Gymboree approach, which has contributed to the development of millions of children worldwide, the PSS Program at Gymboree Ataşehir is built on original Gymboree content that meets international standards.
This program represents a unique educational model that transforms children’s first separation from their families into a smooth, secure, and nurturing transition for hundreds of thousands of families around the world each year.
The program is offered as 3 or 5 half days per week.
Gymboree Ataşehir provides flexible enrollment options throughout the term, offering solutions tailored to each family’s needs. By creating a positive learning environment, our classes successfully combine learning with fun.
Through individual and group play activities, children learn to share ideas, collaborate, and communicate effectively. Social and cognitive development before kindergarten is actively supported.
Based on Gymboree’s “learning by doing” methodology, art activities include drawing, painting, play dough, cutting and pasting, and dramatic play. During this process, children’s self-confidence and artistic potential are strengthened.
Through songs, dances, instruments, and movement-based games, children’s love for music is nurtured. Each month, a different music genre is explored, introducing basic musical concepts such as rhythm, melody, and tempo. Physical, social, and cognitive development are supported in a holistic way.
At Gymboree Ataşehir, English & Art classes are offered at two levels:
16–22 months and 22–36 months.
With monthly units and weekly themes, basic English concepts are supported through circle time, art activities, mini projects, story time, and sensory play. While receptive language development is strengthened through children’s songs, motor skills are supported through art and sensory activities.
Through Lego-based activities, children develop problem-solving, planning, and attention skills. Abstract and concrete concepts are learned in a fun, hands-on, and engaging way.
In these classes, children develop coordination, balance, flexibility, correct posture, and body awareness. Each month, the basic movements and rules of a different sport are introduced with a strong focus on self-confidence, cooperation, and fun.
