The study aimed to identify the optimal kindergarten site in As-Salt using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Data was collected from various sources and experts, and three alternatives were selected from Batna neighborhood, Wadi Al-Halabi neighborhood, and Al-Naqab neighborhood. The spatial suitability method was used to analyze the data, determining the most suitable neighborhood for kindergartens. The study adopted a descriptive approach and analyzed the data using GIS to ensure the optimal site selection. The study found that the Batna neighborhood is the optimal site for establishing a kindergarten project, ranking eighth in the classifications . The most important criteria for site selection were distance from main roads and proximity to residential roads, which ranked up to 18%. The study also highlighted the effectiveness of GIS and the spatial suitability method in achieving optimal site selection for educational facility projects. The study recommends selecting Batna neighborhood for kindergartens due to its high suitability for most proposed criteria and suggests enhancing GIS technology in other educational projects. Future studies should evaluate and improve the process of selecting kindergarten sites using GIS and the spatial suitability method.
