Language Workshop (English)

English education at Pikolo Kindergarten is conducted through the Bilingual Education Program, which aims to help children learn the language through a natural process. In this program, English is not just a subject; it is integrated into children’s lives as a natural part of life, spread throughout different moments of the day.

All materials used in education are based on Oxford University Press resources. Oxford’s content, specially prepared for the preschool age group, provides age-appropriate, lasting learning through stories supported by visuals, songs, games, and activities.

In the program, children develop both their listening and speaking skills. Through daily conversations, story time, and interactive games, they use words by understanding their meaning rather than memorizing them.

In addition, the weekly Language Workshop is a special activity area where children reinforce the language with different materials and learn through experience. These workshops include creative activities such as role-playing, story completion, singing songs, and puppet shows.

Speaking Club activities are organized to give children the courage to speak English. These club activities support children in expressing themselves with confidence, developing fluent speaking skills, and using the language comfortably in social settings through small group interactions.

English education at Pikolo is academically sound, fun, practical, and relevant to the child’s daily life.

💃Dance Workshop

At Pikolo Kindergarten, dance education is conducted through a comprehensive program that develops children’s sense of rhythm, increases body awareness, and supports their self-confidence.
Our classes include basic movement skills, rhythm perception, harmony with music, and group coordination exercises.

Dance plays an important role in both the physical and emotional development of children. Our programs include creative dance activities that give children the opportunity to express their feelings and channel their energy in the right way.
Working with different types of music gives children the ability to feel the rhythm and express it with their bodies. Group dances strengthen sharing, teamwork, and harmony.

🎭Drama Workshop

Drama education is a powerful learning tool that develops children’s imagination, communication skills, and emotional awareness. At Pikolo, drama classes are planned using a child-centered approach.

In class, children act out stories, take on characters, and freely express their own ideas through improvisation activities. This process strengthens children’s ability to express themselves, build empathy, and speak in front of a group.

Drama activities also support children’s problem-solving and creativity skills. In these play-based classes, every child is at the center of learning and learns by doing and experiencing.

🤖 Robotics Coding Workshop

Robotics coding education at Pikolo is designed to develop children’s analytical thinking, problem-solving, and productivity skills.
Through age-appropriate robotics kits, coding games, and STEM-based activities, children learn to identify themselves as individuals who produce technology.

In these classes, children develop their “cause-and-effect reasoning,” “step-by-step planning,” and “logical reasoning” skills. Coding activities encourage teamwork, teach children patience, and show them the joy of bringing an idea to life.

The goal is not only for children to use technology, but to understand it and creatively transform it into something new. At Pikolo, every child is a budding inventor!

🤸♀️ Movement and Balance Workshop

Movement and Balance classes are an important program that supports children’s physical development and increases coordination and muscle strength.
In these classes, children experience an active learning process through fun obstacle courses, balance boards, ball games, and group activities.

The main goal of the program is to develop children’s body awareness, strengthen their posture, and support their fine and gross motor skills.
Balance and coordination exercises improve children’s focus, attention, and reflex control. Through learning by moving, children become more active, healthy, and confident individuals, both physically and mentally.

♟️ Chess Workshop

Chess education teaches children strategic thinking, planning, attention, and patience skills. At Pikolo, chess is taught using a game-based learning method, tailored to different age groups.

During lessons, children learn how the pieces move while also discovering how to think, anticipate, and make the right decisions. Playing chess shows children that making mistakes is also part of learning.

This process strengthens children’s concentration, analysis, and problem-solving skills while also boosting their self-confidence. At Pikolo, chess is not just a game; it is an enjoyable learning tool that develops children’s logical thinking skills.

🎵  Music Workshop

Music education is an important learning area that develops children’s sense of rhythm, auditory awareness, and aesthetic perspective. At Pikolo, music lessons are enriched with activities such as singing, rhythm exercises, instrument recognition, and creating stories with music.

In these lessons, children learn to express their feelings through music, listen, and harmonize within a group.
Music also supports language development; it strengthens vocabulary, sound awareness, and articulation skills.

At Pikolo Preschool, music education is a joyful and inspiring learning experience that brings out the rhythm and creativity inherent in every child.
