Recognizing the critical role of early childhood education in the formation of students, PTC-CSJ Foundation, in partnership with Synergeia Foundation, supported DepEd-Muntinlupa’s online Storytelling Workshop for all its 137 Kindergarten teachers from 20 public elementary schools.
Held via Zoom on April 6, 2022, the workshop emphasized storytelling as an important educational tool in promoting young children’s brain development, imagination, and curiosity. It also focused on developing essential language, emotional, social, and communication skills.
