About Us

A mother–daughter duo with an individual approach

At Lala Land, we believe in providing a nurturing, home-like environment where children feel safe, loved, and inspired to grow. Our childcare is proudly run by a mother-daughter duo, Gulsum and Lala, who bring their personal and professional experience as mothers to everything we do.

Gulsum, a mother of three, started Lala Land with a passion for creating a space where every child is treated like family. Lala, a mother of one, designs engaging activities that inspire curiosity and joy through play and creativity. Together they combine deep love for children, family values, and attention to detail — so your little one is always in caring and capable hands.
