Abstract: Abstract The purpose of this research was to examine the psychological well-being of preschool children, their parents, and teachers according to various sociodemographic variables. The sample of this quantitative survey research consisted of preschool children aged 5–6 and their parents and teachers. The Psychological Well-Being Scale for 5/6-Year-Old Children and Psychological Well-Being Scale were used as data collection tools in the study. The results showed that the psychological well-being levels of the preschool children, their parents, and preschool teachers were high. A positive significant relationship was found between the psychological well-being of the children and that of their parents; however, no significant relationship was found between that of the preschool children and their teachers. In addition, the psychological well-being of the children showed a significant difference according to the child’s age, duration of attending preschool education, monthly income of the family, and education level of the parents. The psychological well-being of the parents varied significantly depending on the marital status, mother’s education level, mother’s age, and monthly income. The psychological well-being of the preschool teachers varied significantly according to their gender, age, education level, age group, type of school they taught in, and number of children in their class.
