Kate could be seen smiling and laughing as she interacted with the kids and their parents at the Henry Fawcett Children’s Center. The programs Kate joined, offered by the local Lambeth Early Action Partnership (LEAP) and Parent and Infant Relationship Service (PAIRS), are designed to help parents in poorer communities.

The Duchess of Cambridge, a mother of three, also sat on the floor to join a "Circle of Security" that is designed to help parents and caregivers "better understand their child's emotions," according to Kensington Palace.

The duchess has made early childhood education a focus of her charitable work.
