Listening to music and exercising is a great way to calm your mind and then put something hopeful right in its place!

Everything that happens in learning is based on the context of a student’s connection with their teacher. It’s important.

Try to play to the children’s interests. If they love a specific character bring them into your stories and games outside to help promote engagement in the physical activity.

Absolutely! Games are not inherently focused on unhealthy activities, having group dancing, making delicious healthy foods, and learning new things can all be done in celebratory ways. Ways that will excite all sorts of children.

I’m worried about the stress epidemic that we face in our schools and society today. The infrastructure just isn’t able to handle the problems kiddos and adults face today.

I’m looking forward to learning the specific tips and regulations regarding safety in childcare settings.

I would like them to value…

1. Being fair and kind to my child.

2. To be well educated in early education concepts and ideals.

3. To listen to my perspective and to keep me involved in updates

I would be afraid of…

1. things happening to or about my child without me knowing.

2. Having stressed out teachers around my child.

3. Being unable to advocate for my child if they needed something.

Consistency is key! The only way to truly hammer in and get the real benefits of a schedule is to keep it as similar as possible each day.
