About Me
Hello there, I am Merve. I was born in Istanbul, in 1985. I studied Early Childhood Education at Bogazici University, and graduated in 2008. I live in Istanbul, and love travelling worldwide. I created my own business; Mai in June 2023, with photography and early childhood education components. In Mai Kids Play I offer play sessions for toddlers and preschoolers. You can also buy Inspire My Play sensory play materials and kits to play with your children at home. The primary language of Mai Kids Play is Turkish, and we use English in some of our songs to bring children to early familiarity with the English Language.
​
Photography has always been one of my passions since my childhood, and I have been taking digital photos since 2010. I have learned photography great experts in this field from the very beginning. I continue training and certificate programs in order to keep my passion for photography alive and to do my job in the best way possible.

Best wishes,
Merve
