The aim of this article is to compile studies on preschool teacher-child interactions and to provide a Turkish resource for the field. Preschool period is considered to be a period with the highest rate of developmental progress. In this period, the adults in the child’s close environment have significant impacts on development. Most of the time, this adult figure is the parents. However, parallel to the increase in the number of families with two employed parents, young children spend a considerable portion of their time in preschool institutions and interacting with non-parent adults (preschool teachers). Research shows that preschool teacherchild interactions have significant impacts on children’s development. For this reason, many studies have been conducted to determine the factors associated with the quality of teacher-child interaction, yielding different results that are not consistent with each other. This shows the need for further studies to determine the factors affecting the quality of teacher-child interaction.
