In this video, I’ll show you how to think outside the box as a preschool teacher and transform your classroom centers by seeing them from a child’s perspective. Kids love things that are different, silly, big, and fun, so why not bring that into your centers? By adding a little creativity and child-centered thinking, you can turn even the most "boring" center into one that every kid is excited to visit! I’ll share some fun ideas that have worked wonders in my classroom—getting the kids out of their chairs, moving, jumping, crawling, and more. By shifting how we approach activities, we can engage even the most hesitant children. Ready to think like a 3-5-year-old? Let’s make learning fun! You got this!

Don't wait to address behavior problems in your preschool classroom—take action early! In this video, I share practical strategies for tackling behavior issues at the start of the year. Learn the importance of quickly communicating with your principal or director and how to approach parents in a sensitive and positive way to create a plan that supports every child. Discover why working together with your aides, admin, and parents is key to making school a positive experience for everyone. Remember, you don't have to be a hero—get help, and you'll be glad you did! Watch now for tips on how to create a collaborative, supportive environment from the very beginning.
As teachers, we’re often so focused on taking care of our students that we forget to take care of ourselves. In this video, I’m talking about why prioritizing your mental and physical health is crucial—not just for you, but for everyone around you. I’ll share my own experience of not taking care of myself, which led to getting five other teachers sick and even caused our school to close for a day due to lack of staff. This experience taught me that taking care of yourself truly means taking care of those around you and showing respect for your co-workers and the families who trust you with their children. I’ll also discuss why it’s important to set boundaries with parents about not accepting sick kids into your classroom for the sake of everyone’s health. Remember, if you take care of yourself first, you’re often taking care of others at the same time. Let’s make this year one where we prioritize our well-being so we can be our best selves for our students! #TeacherWellness #SelfCareForTeachers #HealthyClassroom #MentalHealth #PhysicalHealth #TeachingTips #RespectYourCoWorkers

Building strong bonds with your students during the first few weeks of preschool is essential for creating a warm and loving classroom atmosphere. In this video, I’ll share why this early connection is so important and how it can set the tone for the entire school year. By focusing on bonding, you’ll not only cut down on behavior problems but also make your classroom a safe place where children feel confident to freely explore, discover, and learn. When kids know they’re cared for, they’re more likely to engage, participate, and thrive in their new environment. Join me as I discuss strategies for connecting with your students and fostering a classroom culture where every child feels valued and loved. #PreschoolTeacher #StudentBonding #ClassroomAtmosphere #FirstWeeksOfSchool #TeachingTips #EarlyChildhoodEducation
