You know you had a full day when there are not enough words to express what you’ve seen, and felt and absorbed.
Family feeling – the warm airport welcoming, Fran opening her house to us for dinner, an amazing host that received us with opened arms in her house, her family, made me feel like home far away from home.
A big voice – I am coming from a place where there is no early childhood “proper” education, where sometimes working with small kids is seen like a hobby and not a real job. Today I saw a room full of 750 teachers that were professional teachers and seen as so with a strong and united voice.
Responsibility – the word of the day. I am responsible to me and to my community to take as much as I can from this amazing and unique opportunity, to improve the level of education in my kindergarten and to give a voice to the Jewish educators back home.
So tonight I am going to sleep with lots of questions popping in my mind: do I have a clear image of the child, do I communicate efficiently enough with the families, can I improve the level of education, involvement of my colleagues, to whom I can turn to for support around me? I hope the next days will help me answer part of them, but something tells me there will be more questions popping out.
