Life of a Childcare teacher

Happy Earth Day 🌎 !

✨ No-Cook Playdough (Daycare Approved 😉)
Super easy, no stove, and keeps the kids busy for so long 🙌

What you need:
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup salt
• 1/2 cup warm water (not boiling)
• 1 tbsp oil
• Food colouring 🎨
• 2–4 tbsp cornstarch (for that soft, perfect texture)

Mix, knead, and you’re done ✔️
If it’s sticky → add a little more cornstarch
If it’s dry → tiny splash of water

Honestly… this is one of those go-to daycare tricks that never fails 😂

Weekend vibes: scanning the playground for hazards like it’s my full-time job… and also being a mom means I never actually clock out 😅👀

Kids yoga

💗✨ Valentine Moon Sand Sensory Play

How to make:
Mix 4 cups flour + ½ cup oil until soft and crumbly. Add a little pink food coloring (optional) and mix again. Pour into a bin, then use heart molds to press and shape.

Kids can scoop, crumble, and remake hearts over and over, simple, calming, and perfectly messy for Valentine’s Day 💕

February bucket list

💛 To every childcare worker reading this 💛

Some days in childcare feel smooth.
And some days feel like pure survival mode.

You wipe noses, mediate arguments, clean up lunch explosions, answer parent messages, follow policies, keep children safe—and somehow hold it all together while putting yourself last.

And still you wonder:
Am I doing enough?
Am I doing it right?
Why does this feel so hard?

Here’s the truth:
If this job were easy, everyone would do it.
If it didn’t matter, it wouldn’t take so much out of you.

The exhaustion isn’t failure—it’s care.
You’re not just watching children. You’re teaching, protecting, guiding, managing big emotions, preventing chaos, and showing up every single day.

And if all you did today was keep the kids safe, fed, and loved—
that was enough.

If no one has told you lately:
✨ You matter
✨ Your work matters
✨ What you do every day is a big deal

Take a breath. Tomorrow is a new day.
And you’re doing better than you think. 💛
