Description

Welcome to the very first episode of Early Years Explorers — the podcast where messy play meets meaningful learning! I'm Afaf Zaidan , a preschool lead teacher with nearly two decades in education (and a permanent dusting of glitter to prove it).

In this episode, we dive into why the early years — from birth to age 7 — are so much more than finger painting and snack time. From brain development to building social-emotional foundations, this is where the real magic begins. Whether you’re an educator, a parent, or someone curious about those tiny humans with big personalities, this one’s for you.

Expect real talk, real laughs, and a whole lot of love for the littlest learners.
