Preschool educational environments that support creative potential contribute to children's social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development. This study analyzes the common characteristics of preschool spaces that foster creativity and aims to develop a new spatial organization model. A qualitative research approach was adopted using a descriptive case study with a holistic single-case design. The study was conducted in a preschool in Kadıköy, Istanbul, with a purposive sample of 10 children and 3 teachers. Data were collected through the "Creative Learning Environment Assessment Scale" and open-ended interview forms. Findings indicate that spacious and flexible environments enhance children's creative development. Based on these results, a new spatial design model was developed to foster creativity in children, emphasizing the need to improve existing standards.
