Sustainable Support for Education from Yıldız Entegre: 80 Kindergartens Renewed with VarioClic Kids

Offering a wide product range from panels to doors and from laminate flooring to decorative solutions through its Yıldız Trend, VarioClic, TerraClick and VarioDor brands, Yıldız Entegre has carried out a significant social responsibility project under the motto “In Pursuit of Sustainable Goodness.” The company renewed kindergartens in Kocaeli with child-safe VarioClic Kids products. Coordinated by the Fehmi Yıldız Foundation and supported by Yıldız Entegre, the project transformed the floors of 80 kindergartens across 9 districts into hygienic, safe and colorful learning environments.

Expanded in scope with a protocol signed with the Kocaeli Governorship and the Provincial Directorate of National Education in June 2025, the project reached a wider audience following the successful first phase covering 23 schools. The work was carried out in cooperation with the Provincial Directorate of National Education and Yıldız Entegre’s Kocaeli dealer Santürk Yapı. After the project’s completion, Yıldız Entegre Deputy General Manager Melike Çubukçu and Marketing Director Bengü Metin met with children during a visit held on December 5 at Başiskele Gülbahçesi Kindergarten.

Evaluating the visit, Yıldız Entegre Deputy General Manager Melike Çubukçu said: “We proudly carry the vision of leaving lasting value to society, which we share with our parent company Yıldızlar Yatırım Holding, through projects we implement under the coordination of the Fehmi Yıldız Foundation. We expanded the flooring renewal project we launched in 23 kindergartens in Kocaeli to 80 kindergartens, providing hundreds of children with safe, healthy and colorful learning spaces. We would like to thank, first and foremost, our Governor İlhami Aktaş; Provincial Director of National Education Emrullah Aydın; Başiskele District Governor Dr. Soner Şenel; Başiskele Mayor Yasin Özlü; our District Director of National Education Murat Şendoğan; our deputy directors Sadık Akar and Tuncer Cabak; Santürk Yapı, which carried out the implementation in the field with great dedication; and all our teams who contributed. Seeing our children’s happiness firsthand was the most valuable reward of this journey.”
