Get to know Alev Aykent
Alev Aykent graduated from the Istanbul University Department of Psychology in 1986 and went on to complete her master's degree in Applied Psychology at Istanbul Ticaret University. With a career devoted to understanding the human mind, she brings deep clinical insight into the emotional and developmental world of young children.
Since 2016, she has served as Sun Preschool's consultant clinical psychologist, working closely with teachers and families alike. Her role goes far beyond observation: she supports children through their developmental milestones, guides teachers in responding to each child's individual needs, and offers parents a trusted, expert voice during the earliest and most formative years of their child's life.
Her presence at Sun Preschools reflects one of the school's core beliefs — that a child's emotional wellbeing is not separate from their education, but the very foundation of it.
