Give Thanks 😊
Dear Caring Adults, I’m going to keep this one short and sweet. As we move into the new calendar year, take a few moments to thank yourself. Thank yourself for being the best that you can be and if you feel like you weren’t your best, thank yourself for recognizing this and do your best […]
T’is the Season!
Dear Caring Adults, Wow, the holiday season is already upon us! This time of year could be stressful due to the amount of money that many Caring Adults may feel so obligated to spend of course, with the intention of making sure that their Lovely Learners enjoy the holidays to the fullest.

To Halloween or Not to Halloween…
Dear Caring Adults, Growing up in a Caribbean household that was moderately religious, Halloween was not something that was celebrated in our home. The first time I wore a costume was in Junior Kindergarten. I remember that the only reason this thought was entertained was because when I was attending pre-school, I was the only […]

The Little Mermaid
Dear Caring Adults, How many of you are going to see the live action version of Disney’s The Little Mermaid? The original animated film debuted in the 80’s and was a staple in my household. Ariel’s story had been relatable to me for a few reasons. First off, some of the film’s music has an […]

With that said, dressing your Lovely Learners for such unpredictable weather conditions can be challenging, especially if you aren’t with them all the time. As we are probably all already aware of, children tend to overheat or […]
Diversity in the Classrooms
Dear Caring Adults, It is often implied that classroom/academic learning for Black children appears to be more of a challenge than it is for children of other racialized groups. It is my personal belief that the idea of academic challenge is equally as applicable for children who are excelling as it is for those who […]
