Abstract :In recent years, there has been a rise in preschools adopting alternative educational approaches due to increased interest. Researchers have focused on how these approaches affect children\'s development. This study compares self-regulation in Montessori Preschool and preschools implementing the Ministry of National Education curriculum using a casual comparative research model. The sample includes 140 children aged 48-72 months from Montessori, private, and state preschools. Data was collected with a Personal Information Form and Preschool Self-Regulation Assessment measuring attention, emotion, and behaviour regulation. Montessori students exhibited higher self-regulation and positive emotion regulation. Six-year-olds scored higher in attention/impulse control. Young parents\' children had higher self-regulation levels. Overall, self-regulation in the study group was high. The study discusses these findings in the context of existing literature and offers practical recommendations for future research.Keywords : Okul öncesi dönem, öz-düzenleme, Montessori okulu, devlet okulu
