This study aimed at investigating the views of kindergarten and first-grade teachers on school readiness. The study group of this study consisted of kindergarten (n=16) and first-grade teachers (n=16) working in public and private kindergartens and primary schools affiliated with the Ministry of National Education in Istanbul, Turkey. The phenomenology model, one of the qualitative research designs, was adopted in this study. The “Semi-

In addition to this, the opinions of kindergarten and first-grade teachers on school readiness were included with direct quotations.
