	abstract = {In order to reach their highest potential, all children must be supported through education from early ages onwards. This is why from its inception to the present; ACEV has been developing intervention programs suited to the needs of disadvantaged children with limited access to preschool education. ACEV{\textquoteright}s Preschool Education Program (PEP) was developed with this purpose for our Summer Preschools in 2003, in regions where access to early childhood education remains low. Then, PEP was adapted in 2016 to meet the needs of Syrian children, and implemented as a pilot project in collaboration with the Istanbul Provincial Directorate of National Education.

This Practitioner{\textquoteright}s Guide draws from the Monitoring and Evaluation Report of the pilot project for the Summer Preschools for Syrian Children, prepared by Asst. Prof. Ersoy Erdemir. It addresses the various factors recommended for consideration in efforts to improve the school readiness of Syrian children via a short-term intervention program. The first section of the Guide contains information on ACEV{\textquoteright}s Summer Preschools Program, while the second section focuses on recommendations for consideration in future implementations based on the experiences gained in this project. },
