                This article on the NAEYC blog page shows the experience and story of a woman's journey to Roatan, Honduras where she was a curriculum coach and teacher. She shares the challenge of communication with the language barrier of Spanish and language and how she was able to overcome that with the use of observing body language. The three main points she learned from this experience was the importance of observing, asking questions, and modeling behavior. 

• "Communicate—I don’t speak Spanish, so communicating with the teachers is a challenge because they don’t speak English. Affirming all the teachers and children by using rituals, eye contact, and positive body language is essential. We also communicate in a practical way with photographs."
• -HEATHER LOGAN

    After viewing her story I decided to look up early childhood education centers and programs in Rotan, Honduras because she mentioned when she was there in 2015 there were not many centers or services available. "There are no regulations covering early care and education on Roatan, which has about 90,000 residents, and only two early childhood education centers on the island" (Logan 2015).

The two I found were: 

Paradise Babies Early Learning Center https://www.paradisebabiesroatan.com/

    They pride themselves and have a mission to be a high-quality, child-focused learning environment.

AllRed Daycare and Learning Center: http://ifroatan.org/allred-daycare-center/

    This is a nonprofit bilingual learning facility 

"Our mission is to promote the economic and cultural growth of the Roatan community by providing quality bilingual education and childcare for working, low-income families"
