LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! So true.

I’m in a local public school teacher group, and every single day I see posts about kids fighting, tattling, and struggling to resolve conflicts.

Yes, elementary aged students are still learning, but I believe there’s more to it.

Preschools today are heavily geared toward academics, and that’s a huge problem. Somewhere along the line, we decided that three and four-year-olds needed worksheets, assessments, and literacy drills instead of what they actually need: PLAY!

Deep, meaningful play isn’t a waste of time, it’s crucial. Play is where kids learn to regulate their emotions, to take turns, negotiate, and solve conflicts. Those lessons don’t come from flashcards or sitting at tables, and free child-led play is grossly minimal in most preschools today.

So by the time kids get to elementary school, they’re “academically prepared” but socially underdeveloped. They’ve missed those opportunities to work through disagreements in the sandbox, to problem solve during block building, to navigate friendships through pretend play.

Play is learning.
Play is the foundation.
Play is the precursor to academics.
Play prepares kids for elementary school.

Let’s find our way back to play!

Great resources!

Know a child who is a "sensory seeker" (i.e. always seeking out sensory input, may be clumsy, seems hyperactive, might be a messy eater...)?

We love ms.Rachel and all of her songs here at LCDC ! Hop little bunny is a fan favorite 🤩

Six years ago, Rachel Accurso was a stay-at-home mom with a baby on her hip and an iPhone camera, posting singsong videos to YouTube to help her son through a speech delay. Now, Ms. Rachel is a household name. She’s not just a streamer, she’s a cultural flashpoint—and a Glamour Woman of the Year. At the link, read as she opens up about motherhood, the iconic children’s TV show host that inspired her, advocating for children across the world, and more. https://glamourmag.visitlink.me/keU1Rd

The way we greet children after school sets the tone for the whole afternoon

After holding it together all day, they need calm connection, not a flood of questions.

Here are some simple do’s and don’ts to make pick-up smoother for everyone.
