A Five-Day Journey into the Child’s Brain at Darshan Child Care

A Five-Day Journey into the Child’s Brain at Darshan Child Care

Darshan Child Care successfully completed a five-day professional development program focused on understanding the developing child’s brain. This training was designed to strengthen teachers’ understanding of how children develop, learn, regulate emotions, and express themselves through behavior. The program emphasized a research-informed, brain-based approach to early childhood education that supports children with intention and care.

Throughout the five days, educators engaged in a structured process of learning, application, and reflection. The sessions supported teachers in connecting theory with everyday classroom practice, encouraging them to move beyond assumptions and respond to children with greater awareness and empathy.

Key areas of learning included understanding the brain behind behavior, recognizing the role of emotional regulation in learning, building connection before correction, and viewing challenging behaviors as communication rather than defiance. Teachers also explored how adult responses, tone, and self-regulation directly influence a child’s sense of safety and readiness to learn.

The program included interactive discussions, reflective activities, and real classroom-based examples. Educators shared meaningful observations of positive shifts in their interactions with children, noting improved engagement, emotional safety, and stronger teacher-child relationships through small, intentional changes in practice.

We extend sincere appreciation to the educators of Darshan Child Care for their openness, commitment, and dedication throughout the five-day training. Their willingness to choose understanding over reaction reflects a strong commitment to child-centered and developmentally responsive education.

The completion of this five-day learning journey marks an important step forward as Darshan Child Care continues to foster nurturing, emotionally attuned classrooms grounded in neuroscience and compassionate teaching.
