Abstract
In this study, we will examine why preschool environmental education is important in the 21st century. Within the scope, I benefited from many studies and articles and included important opinions. In order to understand the subject well, I first explained the subjects of environment and what is environmental education. I talked about why environmental education is important in preschool and what conditions should be met for children. I included exemplary activities to improve environmental education in preschool. I researched what has changed in environmental education in this century and why environmental education is important. Finally, I expressed my own ideas and views on environmental education in the 21st century.
