Katherine and I had the privilege of presenting to Naples Preschool of the Arts, and it was truly a joy to spend time with such an engaged, thoughtful team of educators. Thank you for the opportunity, @Jennifer Cashman Our training focused on sensory regulation and emotional regulation, with a strong emphasis on helping teachers: - read the room before reacting - understand how their own sensory system affects the classroom - make small, in-the-moment adjustments that support regulation and engagement The feedback from the team was incredibly positive (5/5), with many teachers sharing how helpful it was to have language and tools that felt realistic and usable in a busy classroom. If you’re curious about how this kind of support can extend beyond a single training, check out the introduction to The Ultimate Preschool Playbook (UPP) (under the classroom tab) to see how it can support your preschool as well. 💬 Directors — what are you noticing most in your classrooms right now when it comes to regulation and engagement?

We are super excited to welcome Temple Shalom Preschool to The Ultimate Preschool Playbook! We are prepping to onboard your teachers into UPP and are looking forward to getting to know them next Wednesday during The Playbook Porch! Welcome, @Eliza Cardoze -we are so glad you are here!

Today’s conversation started with some real talk about holiday overwhelm and how to show staff they’re truly appreciated… and it naturally opened the door to a powerful discussion about intentional hiring, thoughtful planning, and building the kind of school culture that genuinely supports staff and families. It aligned so seamlessly with what we teach inside The Ultimate Preschool Playbook — and by the end we were all saying, “I needed this today.” We know some of you hoped to join but preschool life had other plans… so the replay is ready whenever you are. Turn it on while you’re wrapping up a bit of paperwork and enjoy a perspective shift for the rest of your week.
