Playorena, Istanbul:
Playorena located in the heart of Istanbul is the result of over twenty-five years of development. The founders of this wonderful playgroup and preschool for international children up to 6 years old created a developmentally appropriate recreational program based on the premise that self-acceptance is a major key to growth and development. They were also very aware that young children have a strong innate need for all different kinds of movement and motion. The Playorena program is designed to take toddlers step by step through the stages of early developmental stages while educating parents.
