About the Program
The aim of this program is to train personnel who can assess the mental, linguistic, motor, social and emotional development and self-care capabilities of children and offer support to families, the child and the society to improve this development process. The program aims to train professionals knowledgeable in both typically developing and atypically developing children as well as children in need of protection, hospitalized children, immigrant children and child laborers. Schooling rates in preschool education are intended to be raised to 100% within the educational reform and it is predicted that the need for teacher assistants in sustaining preschool education will rise exponentially. In this program, it is preferred to train qualified child development personnel who improve themselves continually. Our students are educated in such a manner that they are expected to know all subfields of child development and be able to serve the people and institutions in the field.

The education in the clinic, practical courses and clinical practice will be carried out according to the principles and regulations of The Higher Education Council (YÖK).
