The population of this study is composed of officially independent nurseries in Ankara Etimesgut and pre-school teachers working at such institutions. In the study, in order to determine demographic characteristics of the pre-school teachers, a “Personal Information Form” developed by the researcher was used for teachers; and in order to measure attitudes of the parents and pre-school teacher towards sexually abused children; the “Attitude Scales against Sexually Abused Children” was used. The data obtained in the study was analyzed with t test and One-Way Variance Analysis (ANOVA) in accordance with the number of categories in independent variables in SPPS 20 software package. As the sample size of teachers was small, Mann Whitney U test and Kruskal Wallis H test were applied as they were parametric equivalence of such tests. With the aim of analyzing significant differences found, Bonferroni test was applied. Through statistics, significance level was chosen as 0, 05. In conclusion, it was found that attitudes of pre-school teachers towards sexually abused children did not show statistically significant difference depending on their experience with sexually abused children, their age, seniority, their earlier training on child abuse and neglect and their earlier training in sexually abused children (p> 0.05).
