With care, confidence and curiosity
Lavanta Anaokulu in Ümitköy, Ankara makes room for children to learn through play, curiosity and their own experiences. We value listening to each child and sharing their discoveries.
English in everyday life meets art, music, movement and sensory exploration. We value the effort and the experience, as well as the result.
Founded by Huriye Talas, Lavanta welcomes families who would like to learn more about our classrooms and school life. Contact us to arrange a conversation.

Getting to know a school
Choosing a school is about more than liking a building or a classroom. How children are welcomed, how play is approached and how questions are heard also matter. We invite you to consider both the environment and our educational approach.
Our website includes real photographs of the classrooms, play and book corners, activity spaces and garden at our school in Ümitköy, Ankara. They offer a first impression; an introductory visit is an opportunity to discuss everyday school life.
Our founder, Huriye Talas
Huriye Talas is the founder of Lavanta Kindergarten. Getting to know a family means listening to a child’s interests and the family’s expectations, and discussing our approach in a two-way conversation.
