Early Years Explorers - Chatter on Early Childhood
Afaf Zaidan
13 episodes
4 days ago
Welcome to Early Years Explorers, where play is serious business, curiosity is celebrated, and apparently where glitter makes everything better. I’m Afaf Zaidan, an early childhood educator with two decades of experience and self-proclaimed glitter magnet here to share the joy, chaos, and occasional sticky-fingered moments of the early years. Each episode takes you inside real classroom stories that will make you laugh, nod (or gasp!), insights that will keep you going, and reflections on how young children grow, connect, and explore the world — all backed by research. Whether you’re a teacher looking for inspiration or a parent curious about the magic behind those little eyes and big imaginations, there’s something here for you. So grab your coffee, hit that play button, and join me as we dive into the world of early childhood and unpack those messy, magical, and wonderfully unpredictable moments in the early years — one playful story at a time.

Listening to What Children Really Tell Us – Letting Go to Let Learning Happen

In this episode, we explore what happens when educators pause, observe, and truly listen to the voices—spoken and unspoken—of young children. From playful moments in the home corner to discoveries with magnifying glasses, we reflect on how letting go of control creates space for magical, meaningful learning. Join us as we dive into the beauty of child-led exploration, the power of being present, and the lessons children are already teaching us—if we’re willing to slow down and hear them. Expect insights, inspiration, and a little humor along the way!
