Why did we choose Helen Doron? Actually, it was all a coincidence. We were looking for a kindergarten for our daughter, Ece. We live in Çekmeköy and we saw the sign while passing through. Then we searched online to see if this kindergarten was suitable for our daughter. We had been informed that they were using a method which was proven to help children learn a foreign language and this method is taught in other places around the world. This was very interesting for us, since today it is not possible to advance without a foreign language and we have always wanted our daughter to have an English education starting from an early age.

Next we came and talked with the school. We had the impression that the school is well-ordered, the education of the teachers is exact and the method is well-applied so we registered Ece. She started to learn English in a way and at a speed that we did not expect. Now, she is able to count to ten in English very comfortably. She knows the names of many animals. She can say the names of many colours. She can sing in English. The songs are so entertaining that we also join in with her. She can do things at times that we do not expect. Seeing and experiencing that the methodology works is very important for us. We are really happy that we registered our daughter in Helen Doron Kindergarten.

One of the most important factors for us was the intimate size of the classes and the wonderful physical atmosphere. We were initially concerned whether or not an English-based education would cause problems for a child who is still learning Turkish. But at the end of one month, all our doubts disappeared. English is taught with games and fun activities and combined with starting the programme from an early age; these have provided significant contributions to the development of our child.

We are still new, still in the beginning of our journey, but we have clearly seen a change in our child in just six months. Even if he does not understand some words and cannot express himself, we can see that he has started to understand us when we tell him something in English. This is wonderful progress. Love is one of the most important needs for a child at this age. I believe we see it in this school in abundance and the teachers meet this need exceptionally well and I would like to thank them for this.

We chose this programme for our daughter Ada who needed a nurturing, warm kindergarten environment. We heard about Helen Doron and wanted to try it. Ada got used to the school very easily and she is so happy and the teachers are wonderful; she goes to school very happy; she returns back from school very happy. Another reason  we chose Helen Doron Kindergarten is that they provide an English-based education. I liked the similarity of the education system here with the education system abroad and I am really happy that such an education system is available in Turkey.

We are the founders of the Etiler Helen Doron Kindergarten and Learning Centre.

Actually, we are three colleagues, three educators. After many years of teaching, we decided to make an investment in children and through our research, we found that we liked the Helen Doron methodology very much and decided become a part of the Helen Doron franchise family. Children learn English and advance through Kindergarten and Learning Centre courses through the unique methodology of Helen Doron. .We are particularly successful in teaching English to very young children. We have looked into this system and the three of us, together with another partner, joined the Helen Doron system and are really happy that we did this. Our teachers are trained in this unique methodology and teach English in a fun and active way. Children have so much fun they don’t even realize they are learning! The methodology emphasizes repetition and learning through games and music. Children learn English in an effortless way without the stresses of learning a second language. Actually, we do not call it learning English, we call it getting a second language. Helen Doron courses offer a very special environment; children absorb English naturally in a fun-filled atmosphere of creativity and self-expression.
