And here is the link to the online exhibit of documentation posted by a program in Ontario after they re-opened following a closure of several months due to the pandemic, as they realized in a different way the deep value of a pedagogy of relationship.  It includes audio recordings of the sounds of children’s reunion with each other and with the program, as well as some sounds of missing the extended time with their own families.
