Abstract	The purpose of this study was to compare children's environmental awareness and attitudes in the classes where TEMA Kids was implemented and where it was not. This study which used pre-test post-test control group quasi-experimental research design was carried out in 2016-2017 academic year. The study group was composed of 60-72 month old 138 children (69 experimental, 69 control) who continued their preschool education.
