Drio is constructed by Three O`s in Dutch: Ondersteuning-Opvoeding-Onderwijs.

The inspiration from this came through social, cultural and life experiences to combine upbringing and education through a strong support with the parents in the centre towards their children.

Touching more people and having them touch each other to think beyond borders! These are all the borders we face all the time, personal, educational, culture, country borders etc. It did start with the combination of these 3 needs in society/culture/people/world/life….

The First O is for “Ondersteuning” which means Support. The aim of DRIO is to support children, young people, parents and teachers with project based work regardless their background, age or belief. Drio actively engages and supports the (social) community and participates in local and international projects.
Second O is Onderwijs which means Education. One of the other aims of Drio is to follow the educational technologies and innovations and researches, based on educational needs. Forming them creatively and bringing them to/reaching the education areas (schools, organisations, parents etc.) with projects/ activities. The focus with this will be especially on early childhood education.
The last O is Opvoeding which means Pedagogy/Parents Support. The other aim of Drio is to find creative/new ways to network and reach parents and by the different and creative presentations/ workshops increase the parents’ involvement for education/schools and to support them with new innovative pedagogical methods for raising children in a safe and carefree environment.

What distinguishes Vytautas Magnus University (VMU) is our visionary approach towards organising studies, scientific research and academic community life. Scholars from Lithuania and abroad who participated in the reestablishment of VMU in 1989 have also defined our principles, which we have been following ever since: a commitment to foster a liberal and democratic learning environment, emphasising the importance of aesthetics, honesty, tolerance and independent thought. We promote these ideals while nurturing creativity, academic progress and cultural identity within our community.

VMU is a comprehensive university devoted to excellence in teaching, learning, research, arts and innovation, and fostering critical thinking, imaginative response as well as the desire and capacity for lifelong learning of our students who will have an impact on the world, locally and globally.

Our school is located in Yenimahalle, which is very crowded with population density in Hendek district of Sakarya. The location is close to major cities and on east-west transit roads. It is located in a rapidly developing province and has a wide portfolio of socio-economic diversity. Student capacity is the preferred primary school because of its central location and the high educational and training quality.

The fact that it is a school which is open to innovation and development in education, known to be prone to educational studies, active with student-centered projects, and which has become a degree in competition in the provinces (Don’t Waste! Offer!) enables to be preferred in terms of quality.

Our school is 2 km away from the city center and has ample opportunities. The Pre-School Teacher’s Department, located in the Faculty of Education in our province, allows our school to follow the latest developments in education. It is close to the industrial zone and is a one-storey school in a calm, green, garden. The garden is an ideal Pre-school Education Institution by its location and building structure.

Yenimahalle Kindergarten was opened to service in the academic year of 2014-2015. In the first year, 70 students, 1 manager and 5 teachers started the education process; 2017-2018 The number of students increased to 171 in the academic year. We have 1 director, 1 assistant principal, 8 preschool teachers, 16 assistant teachers and 3 support staff. We have 4 morning and 4 afternoon classes at our school and 4 and 5 year olds at our school.

Our school adopts a project-based education approach. In line with this approach, projects with continuity are applied throughout the school year. (First Step to History, Values Education, Charitable Inventors, Child of the Week, Nutrition Friendly Project)

Within the scope of the project, which is jointly carried out with the students of Sakarya University Preschool Teachers, gardening has been organized and areas where pre-school students can use more actively have been established. There is an open-air planting planting area, sports and gymnastics area, music and rhythm area, sand pool and a comprehensive playground which children can use in the garden.

We take precautions in terms of safety in our school. Emergency teams have been created and necessary equipment has been provided. There is also a fire extinguishing system. Our school is watched with 24 hour camera system.

Transportation of most of the students is provided by the service.

The girl-boy distribution of our school students is close to each other.

The vast majority of our parents are professionals and the income levels are moderate. They are aware of early childhood education and are involved in family participation studies.

Our school has foreign nationals and students who are studying integration training under special education.
