Yeşim Kindergarten Documentary Is Now Released
Founded in 1988 by Yeşim Group, Yeşim Kindergarten stands as one of the first corporate kindergartens established within the private sector in Türkiye, serving as a pioneering social responsibility model that supports working mothers and promotes women’s employment.
Built upon the “People First” philosophy of the late founder Şükrü Şankaya, Yeşim Kindergarten has touched the lives of thousands of children over the years, representing an educational approach rooted in equality, love, and opportunity.
Released on the 20th anniversary of Şükrü Şankaya’s passing, the Yeşim Kindergarten documentary brings this remarkable journey — a story of social responsibility that grew at the heart of a factory — to the screen. Today, Yeşim Kindergarten is more than just an educational institution; it stands as a symbol of intergenerational connection, gender equality, and sustainable development, and continues to embody Yeşim Group’s “People First” philosophy in its strongest form.
