Day 3 : Early Childhood

Today we visited the TEARS Early Learning Center. We were welcomed into an environment rich with curiosity and discovery! Seeing the children’s eyes light up as we engaged in song, storytelling and crafts reinforced how positive adult interaction can build a child’s confidence and bring joy. We offered encouragement and celebrated small victories to increase their participation in the activities. In return the children taught us how to embrace spontaneity, find delight in everyday moments and approach new experiences with playful optimism! The teachers offer the children a safe, nurturing environment where they feel valued, understood, and free to explore. By modeling kindness, patience, and curiosity, the teachers demonstrate positive social interactions and set the tone for respectful, cooperative play.
