Our little girl started preschool and to say she LOVES it is an understatement! She attends Minik Devler (that means little giants in Turkish). It’s a little Turkish preschool and she is in the international program with 8 other kids in her class. About half are Turkish, a couple from Europe and, and Eliza is the only American. The school is a couple kilometers from the house, and she rides the bus both ways to school. The first couple days she went for a shorter day for acclimation and by day 3 they told her to come normal time. She did a half day this week and next week starts full-day! Here she is ready to go on the first morning!

The first day she met one-on-one with the teacher, and the second day they introduced her to the class. She came home saying she has so many friends. This girl loves making friends, she is such a friendly little girl. The school sent me some videos and photos during the week. Here are some videos from her first day with her friends in science.
Doing arts and crafts
The facility is a villa that used to be a children’s recreation center. The bottom level has a pool, there is also a small basket ball court, running track, and gymnastics area on the lower levels. The upper levels are the eating area and kitchen (they give them breakfast, lunch, and snack)!, and lots of little rooms for learning science, math, language, arts and crafts, dress up/drama, and a little playground outside. Each week she has swimming lessons and gymnastics lessons twice a week. Here are a couple videos from the school.

Eliza has had a fun and exhausting first week of preschool, and we she can’t wait to see her friends on Monday! We are thankful she loves school and are excited for how she will learn and grow this year.
