Harvest Kindergarten is one of the places where a child will have the most beautiful, productive and fun time. Our children had a great time playing free outdoor games in the garden of the school, touching the soil and plants, with both entertaining and educational activities. They have very successful and experienced teachers, most importantly, they have teachers who are aware of the child's spirit and their imagination, and they reveal the creativity of our children with Waldorf, a well-established education system. Harvest was one of the best choices we made. Good luck to you.

We registered a few months in advance to start my 27-month-old son in Harvest Kindergarten. Then we took him to school for 4 days for orientation. When we went to school, we saw that almost all teachers have changed, they have just started. However, when we signed up, we were told that the teachers were clear. In the week we started, there were no teacher names that we knew, other teachers' names were mentioned, but even those teachers changed during the week. In other words, although it was opened 2 years ago, teachers are constantly changing, except for the founding teacher. They attribute this to the fact that they are "new" even though it has been 2 years since they opened. Except for the founding teacher, there is no teacher with Waldorf education. Even though they said that we can extend the orientation according to your child's getting used to it, they started to send the parents out of the school on the 2nd day. Because they never want to prolong the process, they do not want the guardian to stay too long, even in the garden. My son had a great reaction. Even though they said that they had a bond-oriented approach, they offered to end the process without delay, saying "Leave your son here, let him cry for 1-2 hours, we'll try to calm him down" from the third day, giving the child learned helplessness. During this time, both my wife and I have seen harsh statements made to other children. It is very crowded and all the children are in the garden all day at the same time, children of all ages are together, we saw that the upper-age children pick up and throw hard objects in their hands, and the teachers are insufficient in preventing them. Moreover, since they say "we do real-life things", there are also real shovels and rakes, which can be very dangerous, in this garden. I could not digest leaving my child there and going, and I decided not to continue. Most of the incoming parents are sensitive and conscious people about their children. My child hugs this kindergarten with the logic of being away from teaching anxiety and being able to follow what he feels freely in the open area. But inside, things don't work that way. I couldn't see anything about bond-oriented, positive discipline understanding. Are you looking for a teacher who says "Shall I be offended by you now", who says "without shouting!" or who says "I will give you apples if you do this" or who says "then we will eat your food"? They said to a crying child, "Okay, cry a little here," and turned around and continued to take care of the other children. If my child is exposed to these, I have protected him from teaching anxiety. If there is no problem, you will continue fine, maybe you will even be satisfied, but the first thing to look at in a kindergarten is "what is done when a problem occurs".

We gave my 31-month-old son to this school, which provides education with the waldorf education system. The first week was orientation week. My kid hit his mouth on the playground from day one. with his teacher next to him and me in front of him. We said maybe. orientation week is nothing but chaos. all ages Children from the group together, 2 older children hit my son. The child didn't even cry, he threw it in, but when the dose increased, he went and cried alone in a corner. Meanwhile, we are outside, waiting for the acclimation process. At that moment, he heard his voice and we looked alone. this child has just started school… there is no teacher when he is the child who needs to be most sensitive. The energy of their teacher at the beginning is negative and very aggressive. this is because he takes care of 20-odd children there alone… he acts as if his patience is over. They are tough on children. Frankly, I couldn't resist and took my son. I lovingly wanted him to go to school freely and not have any anxiety about learning. but it's a fiasco… the food menus suck. The child is fed like a vegetarian. The child, who should get from the whole food group, eats nothing but green beans. I passed everything. I couldn't stand my son crying alone on the sidelines. They said “we were following”, not to follow, but to be proactive and not have that negative experience or be consoled. Worse still, we heard the incredibly unpleasant, quarrelsome words of the woman who deals with accounting, even though we did not express these complaints, even though we asked for our fee from the kindergarten where she went for 6 half days. He shouted loudly on the phone, “If you hadn't given it to this school.” You encounter a completely different face in the slightest disagreement. In short, it is a new, unsettled school that will not survive with this understanding. for this reason, it makes the most sense to give it to an experienced, well-established school. The family profile that comes is also very, very smooth and conscious families, but I think that those who understand will have their child in a short time.

We started Harvest about 5 months after an unpleasant orientation with another school. I was very distrustful and anxious towards institutions. It was a reference for us that my friend's daughter, who was the same age as my daughter, had no problems despite starting at an early age, and most importantly, that she did not get sick even once, and we joined the kindergarten. I say home because it is a place far from academic expectations, where the child is included in the process freely but knowing the limits, unfortunately, as I have heard from other nursery managers, they are not forced to do the same thing like lambs, and it is a place far from a school understanding called harmony by experiencing learned helplessness. I can say that Nur Hanım, who impressed me with her naturalness, love for children, equal, distant, confident and sincere stance to every parent, came to me like a medicine at a time when I was fed up with schools that were insincere to parents with financial concerns and constantly telling about the effects of school activities on children's success. My daughter has returned from home happily ever since she left. After the first weeks, he started to go happily. This is the most important reference for me now. I am also a teacher and I have witnessed many times that in any environment where parents are too involved in the process, they are unhappy. People who know the job are already running the process as it should be. It turns out that our children needed to be bored, to be empty, to be content with less and to activate their creativity; I learned it from my daughter, who started to play by talking to herself after school, although she had never done it before, and managed to build a game from stones, snail nests and leaves on the ground. It has given us a lot. Not only my daughter but I also learn a lot day by day. I think we should be a little natural and stay in nature so that our children do not get bored too quickly and cling to technology because they want everything to be fine. That's why I say it's a big good thing for this institution right now.

The home that I entrusted my 22-month-old daughter with peace of mind... We have been going to Harvest for 14 months and we are very happy that our paths crossed. We had a very good orientation process with Ms. Nur and my daughter has been going to school very happy since the first day. Spending time in the garden, finding a place in the daily flow of life, sometimes just sitting quietly and watching nature, chatting and playing with a friend regardless of age group, mowing bread and then consuming it, discovering and learning by oneself, understanding the necessity of nature for us, lovingly Being welcomed and hugged and most importantly feeling loved and understood are important features for us. We would like to thank the whole team for all the time spent remembering that my 2-year-old daughter is just a child, far from academic expectations.

I have been a branch teacher in different kindergartens in Ankara for about 12 years. Unfortunately, I have come across a lot of businesses focused on parents, not children, those who fill the plates of children little by little saying open buffet breakfast, shopping made from the lowest quality market saying we eat organic, most of the activities given by saying that your children did it are done by the teachers, and the worst thing is that the children who are rushed from the event to the event play one-on-one. lack of time, constant desk activities, not a single thing about life skills, etc. Examples can be multiplied further. When my daughter was born, my biggest thought was "where and to whom can I entrust my daughter and she can develop herself as an individual". I really liked the forest school system I saw when I went to Germany, I started researching Waldorf more then. I went to school, and when I saw that dear Nur is young, her idealistic and clear stance, the underlying loving heart and how child-oriented she is, I started my daughter at school without hesitation (which was the pandemic period). He chooses his teammates very carefully, supports each of them individually, acts as a leader, not like a boss, which is very important for the healthy progress of an institution. I realized that this was one of the best decisions I've made in my life, thanks to the way my 4-year-old daughter (34 months old when she started) expresses herself, is self-confident, treats nature and land with respect/love, and has life skills ?? There are people who ask me, there are two answers I give to them; first, start your child if you don't mind getting muddy or dirty (that's frankly I like it, mud means play). Secondly, do not expect activities that will satisfy you every day, the child is not an individual born to make you happy. We are very lucky that the people I say I am glad to have come into our lives ❤️

Hello, I'm Elifnur. I worked as an instructor at Hasat Kindergarten for a year. At the end of a year, I had to leave due to city change. During this time, we met with Hasat on many common points. As an educator, my perspective is a completely nature-based education model, and I had the opportunity to fully apply this perspective at Harvest, a Waldorf School. I witnessed many happy children grow up happily and healthily in the game, by gaining natural life skills, smelling the soil like a seed. We achieved this with the Waldorf approach, which is the great philosophy of Harvest, and its professional staff who take care of children one-on-one. As parents, if we expect academic success from a child, we must ensure that he or she has a healthy and happy childhood. This is very possible in Harvest's garden, classrooms, and unique wood workshop ??? Children are welcomed with love, raised with respect and prepared for their next life as individuals. Good luck Harvest ?
