The day was filled with the aroma of chocolate, genuine smiles, and excitement throughout the process. The children not only gained new experiences but also learned how simple ingredients can turn into true masterpieces.

Tetiana shared with the children the history and significance of the didukh in Ukrainian culture. She explained how this traditional straw decoration symbolizes peace, prosperity, and harmony in the home, and how important it is to preserve our traditions.
Inspired by her story, the children got creative — this time, didukhs came to life on paper. The young artists captured the beauty and magic of this Ukrainian decoration in their drawings. Bright colors, intricate details, and ...

For many, this was their first culinary experience, and the results exceeded all ...

How Educators Pour Their Hearts into the Lives of Children
Every day in children’s centers is not just about learning; it’s a small journey into the world of knowledge, emotions, and discoveries. Educators lovingly create an atmosphere where children not only learn but also feel and experience the world around them.
For instance, during a recent lesson on the topic of “Winter Birds,” the little ones learned about which birds stay with us through the winter. They listened to fascinating stories about chickadees, sparrows, and bullfinches, and enthusiastically participated in discussions.
To reinforce their knowledge, the educators encouraged the ...
