Since the circumstance present in the study is handled within the environment it is linked to and it tries to explain some consequences not known before within the relationship amongst them, this study is proven to be a qualitative research. As the result of the study, it was observed that use of mind maps also supports learning in pre-school level and it is feasible for this age group. Accordingly, it was inferred that use of mind maps in pre-school level is helpful to develop comprehension skills and suggestions were made for other disciplines on employing mind maps
