Putting our children in schools without considering their Knowledge and Skills causes time loss and to render wrong education. While pre-school education reveals the knowledge and skills they have, it also provides the improvement of these. It helps them adopt the new environment that they first left their families. As in general of our homeland, Pre-school education is not common in our region. Vocational Schools to bring up qualified people, who took this education, are few. For this reason, in direction of our project, how to use especially local plays in Pre-school education, our students who are going to experience new teaching and learning methods will be able to be initiators to start these applications in other Vocational schools. Furthermore, the students who graduate from our vocational schools with the pre-school education will be causes to open new centers aimed at this Education. This situation also means new employment fields.

Its being one of the most developed countries of Europe and having the centers that can form a good example for pre-school education are the most significant reasons of choosing Sweden for putting into schools.
