Learning happens not when we tell children things, but when we talk with them. Conversation respects their thinking, builds vocabulary, and shows them their voice matters. Maybe we have a little extra time right now to truly focus on these rich interactions with the children in our lives.

Imagine a world where kids are outside—all day, every day. 🇫🇮 That's the magic of "forest kindergartens" in Finland, where nature is the classroom and fresh air is non-negotiable.

How many hours are your kids spending outside!? What about you?

New Mexico- you’re just beautiful!

This is a state that has finally decided to take its money and put it where its children are. Universal childcare should be a public good -but it is impossible to sustain without fair compensation and dignity for the educators. 🎉🔥💪❤️

This powerful article contrasts Finland’s playful, curiosity-driven kindergartens with the academic pressure so many 5-year-olds face in the U.S. — and reminds us what childhood should feel like. We don’t have to teach reading early to raise readers — play will get us there more easily.
