Abstract

The nursery schools in Turkey were established in the time of the second Constitutional Monarchy (1908 - 1918). In this period, a special attention was devoted to the development of these schools. Teachers and students were sent to European countries, lots of books related to the nursery schools were brought from Europe and translated into Turkish. The book called “Ana Mektepleri Hifzissihhasi”, published by Ebul Muhsin Kemal in 1916, is one of these. Significant information can be retrieved from this work about the nursery schools of the time, and lessons for today. In this paper, we study the historical development of nursery schools in Turkey under the light of this book.
