Families report that teachers and caregivers show patience, encouragement, and joy, and that their children flourish and grow curious and confident under TPCDC’s care. Parents mention activities such as learning to wash hands, creating crafts, interacting with friends, and going on daily walks and adventures in the neighborhood.
