The aim of this study is to reveal the state of the mother’s level of education that makes a significant difference in the perception of respect for differences in the pre-school children. The sample of the study is made up of a total of 168 people, including 84 five-six-year-old children, including 40 girls, 44 men, and the mothers of these children (n=84) who are continuing to school in the Osmangazi district of Bursa. 23 of the mothers in the sample group were selected as primary, 30 high school and 31 university graduates. The data of this study carried out in the general scan model have been collected through the "Diversity Respect Measure" (Ekmişoğlu, 2007) which is in accordance with the research purpose. The findings of the study, the frequency and percentage distribution of the scores that children receive from scale, were presented in tables, and the results of the mother's education level were tested and presented using the ANOVA method. The study found that the scores that children obtain from the scale of respect for differences did not differ significantly according to the mother’s level of education. However, when scale substances were thoroughly examined, it was found that the average score of the children's responses to the gender roles and the matter of disabled individuals was lower than the average score of the other substances of the scale.
