This research was carried out to determine how pre-school teachers perceive child abuse and neglect. The research was carried out with a work group consisting of 36 pre-school teachers working in the Gaziantep province center. In the research, the factual science design was preferred to have a deep understanding and a semi-configured conversation form, which is one of the quality data collection tools, was used. The interview form includes questions to determine how pre-school teachers perceive child abuse and neglect. The data was obtained through individual conversations with teachers. In the analysis of the quality data obtained, content and visual analysis were used. According to the findings obtained from the study, the perceptions of pre-school teachers about child abuse and neglect were studied under six categories, which are included in the field as the types of abuse and neglect in the summer. Pre-school teachers showed their sensitivity to child abuse and misconduct, and they have a lot of information, but this information has been found to be insufficient. Moreover, it has been determined that teachers think that children are more abused and disturbed by people in the home environment, responsible for their care and nearby. Finally, the conclusion was achieved that the participants described abuse better than neglect.
