This online training was clear, practical, and engaging. I particularly valued the strategies for play-based learning and the digital tracking tools I can implement in my classroom. Although the section on differentiating instruction felt rushed, the course has enhanced my teaching practice. I would definitely recommend it to other early childhood educators. Thank you so much!
