The Garden Community Preschool

Children are always doing the best they have with what they’ve got. It is our responsibility to help them build a tool kit they can use throughout their lives when they are in difficult situations.

When a child’s behavior feels challenging, it’s easy to assume they’re doing it on purpose.
But most of the time, behavior is communication.

Kids act out when they’re tired, hungry, overwhelmed, anxious, missing connection, struggling with a skill, or carrying an unmet need they don’t yet know how to express.

Seeing behavior this way doesn’t mean we allow everything. It means we respond with kindness and curiosity instead of punishment, and support instead of shame.

When we look for the reason beneath the behavior, we help our children feel safer, more understood, and more capable of learning better ways to cope.

That’s where real growth happens. 💛

Today, many are striking in protest of ICE and in defense of immigrant communities.
While we are open today, we want to be clear: we stand in solidarity with the January 30 National General Strike.
Our doors are open for care, connection, and community — not business as usual.
Thank you for holding space with us.
