Abstract

This study aimed to explore the perceptions of Early Childhood Education students regarding the role of kindergarten institutions in promoting preschool children's mental health. The descriptive-analytical approach was adopted, and a questionnaire consisting of 21 items across three dimensions was used. The tool was applied to a sample of 46 students. Results indicated a high level of awareness among students about the importance of this role, with no statistically significant differences based on academic level or field training.
