Although play exists in every period of human life, it is an indispensable life practice for preschool children. In particular, children aged 3-6 are at play age and it is known that play is a way of teaching for children in the preschool period. For preschoolers, the best way to learn new skills and ideas is to play. Considering that children spend most of their time indoors in kindergartens; It is possible to say that the most suitable environments for playing games are also kindergartens. In spaces designed for children, it is extremely important to be aware of their developmental processes and to make arrangements for their needs and expectations and to provide appropriate conditions. In today's society conditions, approaches to indoor playgrounds in kindergartens will enable the development of awareness and the training of conscious designers in this field. In this study, the conceptual approaches of the students of the Department of Interior Architecture of Maltepe University towards the indoor playgrounds of the kindergartens designed within the scope of the Design Studio course were discussed. The research is a theoretical study that has been carried out with a phenomenological approach and it has been made by using qualitative research methods. Surveys on the subject were conducted and playground designs made through these surveys were examined. A semi-structured form was developed as a research tool and a questionnaire form was applied to the students.
