In November, six UTC Health and Physical Education students taught physical education lessons at the UTC Children’s Center at Brown Academy. These lessons taught children the importance of taking care of their bodies and finding happiness through physical activity. Photo by Angela Foster.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Moc motto rang out in the hallway of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Children\u2019s Center, marking a spirited end to a semester of teaching and discovery.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a Moc I say. I will do my best every day. I will take care of my body and mind. To my classmates I will be kind. I\u2019m a Moc I say, Hooray!\u201d<\/p>\n

The preschoolers beamed as they joined in\u2014only slightly more excited than the UTC students leading the chant. This final cheer marked the end of a carnival where children moved through activity stations designed by UTC students.<\/p>\n

For Dr. Jamie Harvey, an associate professor in the Department of Health and Human Performance, it was another highlight in her two decades of fostering connections between University students and the UTC Children\u2019s Center.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese moments are what it\u2019s all about,\u201d Harvey said. \u201cThe kids aren\u2019t just learning skills\u2014they\u2019re building connections with our students and faculty. That excitement sticks with them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Where learning starts and careers begin<\/em><\/h4>\n

The UTC Children\u2019s Center serves infants to pre-kindergarten children, offering a dynamic learning environment that goes beyond traditional child care. Located within the Brown Academy building near the UTC campus, the center is a hub for hands-on teaching and collaboration.<\/p>\n

The center welcomes children of UTC staff, faculty and families from the broader community. Its credentialed educators work with UTC students to create engaging, innovative lessons that cater to young learners.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a lab school,\u201d said Shawnelle Winters, who has taught at the center for 10 years. \u201cWe\u2019re not just watching kids\u2014we\u2019re teaching them. The children love having UTC students around.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe call them \u2018our UTC friends\u2019 and always look forward to their visits.\u201d<\/p>\n

Staff also regularly take the children on walks around campus, reinforcing their sense of connection to the University and introducing them to the wider world of learning.<\/p>\n

Students discover new perspectives<\/em><\/h4>\n

For UTC students like Shayne Huffman, teaching at the center has been eye-opening. He started the semester with plans to teach high school or middle school, drawing on his high school football coaching experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis really opened my eyes and opened up my field,\u201d said Huffman, a junior education major from Mt. Juliet, Tennessee.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s been good. It\u2019s been challenging, but it\u2019s fun. I never thought I\u2019d work with kids this young. It helped me find a rhythm and showed me a side of teaching I hadn\u2019t considered before.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of Huffman\u2019s favorite moments was teaching the preschoolers the parachute activity, a classic exercise that fosters teamwork and coordination. It was memorable for him, knowing he was helping them develop a fundamental skill they could carry through their lives.<\/p>\n

Huffman\u2019s time at the UTC Children\u2019s Center highlights its dual role: nurturing young learners while giving UTC students hands-on preparation for careers in education.<\/p>\n

Three generations, one center<\/em><\/h4>\n

For Harvey, the UTC Children\u2019s Center holds a special place in her heart. Her son, Kell, attended the center 35 years ago; her grandson, Thomas Mark, is now a preschooler there.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeeing my grandson here, learning and growing, reminds me why this work matters. It\u2019s about creating a strong start\u2014not just for the kids, but for the students, too,\u201d said Harvey, sharing her trademark enthusiasm in a Power C sweatshirt and a whimsical Cat in the Hat hat.<\/p>\n

The UTC Children\u2019s Center at Brown Academy is one of three in downtown Chattanooga, along with the UTC Children\u2019s Center at Battle Academy and Little Miss Mag.<\/p>\n

With its hands-on teaching methods and strong campus connections, UTC\u2019s children\u2019s centers reflect the University\u2019s commitment to education and community impact.<\/p>\n
