At the East Los Angeles College Child Development Center, teachers use stories and role playing to teach gratitude year-round. Here's how they do it.

It's the time of the year where we all give thanks for what we have -- our families, our homes and the food on the table. At one preschool in East LA, those lessons start early and ways before Thanksgiving.

KPCC's Deepa Fernandes spent a morning there to learn how toddlers are taught to be grateful.
