Dear Families,
Our most valuable assets are our children, the greatest desire of us as the families and parents is to enable them to explore their own talents, to turn to their favorite professions in the future and to be happy individuals doing the job they love. It is the responsibility of us as adults not to compare our children with other children (even their siblings) and to develop their self-confidence by making them feel that each child is unique and distinctive. As the first and the only Children’s University of Cyprus, ÖZAY GÜNSEL ÇOCUK UNIVERSITY, with the awareness that each of our children is unique and distinctive, we have prepared a program where they will discover themselves, ask without hesitation about what they wonder or imagine, conduct experiments with the scientists in laboratories and workshops and learn with fun. We welcome you to Özay Günsel Children’s University in order to raise your children as individuals who are aware of their talents and rights, who express themselves well, are sensitive to art, environment and society and have full self-confidence. In addition to the programs prepared for our children in summer and winter terms, we will also hold interviews with famous pedagogues on child and adolescent subjects at least once per month for you, our esteemed families.
