Look at those capable little hands! 👋✨

In early childhood, building self-help skills like washing hands, putting on shoes, and opening snacks is about so much more than just getting the job done—it’s about building confidence and independence.

As parents and educators, our first instinct is often to jump in and help when a task gets difficult. But it is perfectly okay to step back and let them experience a little bit of frustration! That "productive struggle" is actually a beautiful part of the learning process. It teaches resilience, patience, and problem-solving. Plus, it makes that proud “I did it myself!” moment so much sweeter. 💛

We want to take a moment to share a special story that perfectly captures the heart of The Children’s Hour Academy and shows how our teachers truly go above and beyond! ❤️

This story is extra special to me because it involves my own kiddos. When I was pregnant with our newest addition, I wanted to prepare my 3-year-old daughter for what it would be like when her baby brother finally arrived. We talked a lot about how he would be coming to school with us and spending his days in the baby room with Ms. Colleen.

To practice, my daughter brought her baby doll to school one morning so we could practice dropping him off and picking him up at the end of the day. Ms. Colleen didn't just play along—she took this as an opportunity to make the day incredibly magical for her! She carried the baby doll around with her throughout the day, snapping photos of all the activities the baby was doing to share with my daughter.

When my daughter saw what her baby did all day, she was beaming with joy. Not only was this a fun experience, but it made the transition of bringing her real baby brother to school so much smoother when the time came.

We are so incredibly grateful for Ms. Colleen and the love she pours into our children every single day. ❤️

We’ve all been there! You pick up your little one, ask "How was your day?" and get a resounding "Good!" or "I don't remember!" 🤷‍♀️😂

Getting our kiddos to open up about their busy days takes a little creativity. Broad questions can sometimes be overwhelming for them to process all at once, so it helps to ask about very specific, silly, or fun moments instead!

Here are 5 of our favorite teacher-approved questions to try on the ride home today:

1️⃣ "What made you laugh the hardest today?"

2️⃣ "What was the most fun thing you did outside on the playground today?"

3️⃣ "Did you get to play with anything messy today, like water, sand, or play doh?"

4️⃣ "Did you help anyone today, or did anyone help you?"

5️⃣ "Did you do anything brave or try something new today?"

👇 Tell us in the comments: Did your little one say something that made you laugh, or share a moment that made you beam with pride? We want to hear it! 😊

Look who came to visit! 👋 A couple of our infant friends got to spend some time exploring the early toddler classroom, and they had an absolute blast!

Between taking nice walks, bravely trying out new foods, and observing and exploring during gym time, these little ones are growing up so fast. We love watching them learn, play, and explore! 💛👶
