In this episode, Carla explores what meaningful progress truly looks like in early childhood education: the subtle, powerful shifts that happen long before skills show up on the surface. From greeting a child at the door to acknowledging feelings with empathy, she breaks down how these small moments strengthen neural pathways, support emotional regulation, and build genuine belonging. You’ll learn how to notice your impact, stay grounded in the long game of child development, and end your day feeling more connected to your work. Perfect for early childhood educators, RECEs, preschool teachers, and anyone who needs a reminder that their work truly matters.
