Rabia ERBAŞI
School Principal
Marmara University/Preschool Teaching
I am a graduate of Marmara University's Preschool Teaching Department . For five years, since the first day of my career, I have dedicated myself to adding value to children's lives and raising them in the best possible way, both academically and personally.
I believe that education is more than just imparting knowledge; it must be infused with understanding, love, patience, and expertise. My goal is for our students to grow up as individuals who "learn how to learn," to have strong character, and to walk through life with firm steps.
As an idealist, responsible educator who believes in teamwork, I strive to create a school environment that is open to innovation, responsive to contemporary needs, and committed to continuous improvement. Beyond academic success, my top priority is to provide an educational journey where each student feels valued and empowered as an individual.

Classroom Teacher
Kastamonu University/Child Development
I graduated from Kastamonu University with a degree in Child Development . I've been teaching for three years. With my training in Child Picture Analysis, I strive to observe not only the social lives of children but also their inner worlds. As a cheerful, loving, compassionate, and patient teacher, my goal is to provide children with the experience of learning by doing and experiencing. I want them to love every activity we do, and to ensure that their shared experiences are long-lasting and lasting through the education I provide in every area. There's not much difference between opening the door of a classroom and opening the door of a conquered castle. Because within the classroom, there are dozens of castles of hearts to conquer. I always aim to be present in the hearts I conquer.
Büşra ÖZDEMİR
Classroom Teacher
Marmara University/Preschool Teaching
I started my educational journey at Anatolian Teacher Training High School with the intention of "I will become a teacher" and made this dream come true by graduating from Marmara University Preschool Teaching Department.
I'm currently in my fourth year of teaching. In addition to my classroom teaching, I also actively participate in the school's Education Unit, continuously improving myself through training and supervision to better guide children.
For me, play isn't just fun; it's the purest language a child uses to express themselves. The saying "Play is a child's work" is my professional compass. That's why I'm also studying Play Therapy and trying to understand children's worlds through play.
I admire children's open minds and endless imaginations. As I seek answers to their questions together, I learn as well. Every day, I grow a little more, a little deeper. Because teaching isn't just about teaching; it's about growing together.
My greatest passion is creating a happy school environment where every child can express themselves freely, play, and learn equally. My greatest passion is discovering our children's potential together in an educational environment steeped in love and strengthened by respect and understanding.

Hafiz
I'm a Quran memorizer and have been teaching the Quran for three years . I work with all age groups, and I'm especially happy to foster a love of the Quran in children thanks to the strong bond I've formed with them.
My aim is not only to provide information, but also to instill the love of the Quran in hearts and add good values to their lives.
I also work in corporate communications, managing internal and external communication processes. As Construction's Education Coordinator, I contribute to the planning of educational processes. Forging a personal connection with each student on this journey is my greatest source of motivation.
Suzan YILDIZ
Classroom Teacher
Istanbul University/Child Development
I graduated from Istanbul University's Department of Child Development. I've been teaching at Honey Bee Schools for three years. I received training in curriculum, spirituality, and ecology modules.
My priority is to acquire sufficient and well-rounded knowledge about children. I enjoy spending time with them, growing with them, and making progress. My greatest goal is to contribute to them. It's not just about education, but also about instilling motherly affection, compassion, warmth, and trust. You'll see this over time. Children need to be addressed in a way that encompasses all areas of development, not limited to a single area. As a disciplined and responsible educator, my greatest goal is to be involved in children's lives, to enlighten them, and to share their journey together.

I dream of a generation that is just, compassionate, respectful, disciplined, and committed to national and spiritual values, and I strive to plant the seeds for this. I work in the field of spiritual education, which aims to foster the moral, social, and cultural development of children.
My greatest project in this life is to be remembered with love in a little heart forever...
