Kreative Kids Academy

You saw her make the Eggo waffles and pour the syrup, but did you see her respond to the teacher's email about her child being behind in math?

You saw her driving her kid to soccer practice, but did you see her up all night worrying about the mental health of her child?

You saw her volunteer at the class party, but did you see her signing her kids up for all of their activities?

You saw her switch the laundry and empty the dishwasher, but did you see her juggling everyone's schedules, literally penciling in all of the doctors appointments, practices, games, birthday parties, and more?

You saw her tuck the kids into their beds, but did you see her planning and prepping for that killer vacation you went on?

You saw her get all dolled up (finally) for that date night, but did you see her call for a babysitter and get reservations at that new sushi place?

You saw her cooking dinner, but did you see her understanding what each of her children are feeling without them even talking?

You thought you saw her doing it all. But there's so much more that’s invisible.

Say thank you. More than you already do. And ask how you can help.

So, she doesn't feel invisible, too.

Always,
Angela🌻

Amen amen amen! Again, let me say it one more time amen!!!!

As a new school year approaches, and with it, external pressures for academic achievement, I'd like to remind you to STAND UP for a child's right for ample time to lead their very own PLAY.

Play should not be the reward for good behavior and academic performance.

Play should BE THE MAJORITY of a young child's day.

Play does not mean "today, boys and girls, I have created a bakery for you, this is how you will play with it."

Play means: "I can't wait to see what YOU do. Go play" ❤️

❤️💚❤️

Yyyyeeess!!!!

As a new school year approaches, I'd like to encourage you to not overthink the materials or their placement in the environment.

Instead: work on you and your reactions to child-led ideas, your relationships with the children and your ability to see value in the simplest of child-led moments.

EMPOWER the children with an emotionally healthy environment; one where children trust their thoughts and ideas are welcome and respected, where they know the materials are truly open-ended, passively waiting for the ideas of children.

Great week of Nursery rhyme camp❤️
