The participants are five volunteer public preschool teachers and five children representing the classrooms where the program was implemented. Data sources included semi-structured interview forms prepared for teachers and children, observation forms, and documents obtained from children’s activities. The content analysis technique was used, and codes and themes were generated for data analysis. Teachers who participated in the PLE program believed the program was applicable, improved children’s self-regulation skills, and contributed to their professional development. Children, however, stated that while they struggled with some of the program’s activities, they enjoyed participating and remembered the games and stories better. The results were discussed in relation to the literature.}, number={Özel Sayı}, publisher={Başkent Üniversitesi}
