✨ Now Offering Classroom Support Services ✨ Because every teacher deserves a helping hand—from lesson prep to classroom setup. I’m excited to offer behind-the-scenes classroom support services for early childhood educators and childcare providers through The Learning Boutique.

Parenting has a way of stretching us in ways we never expected. It calls us to love deeper, give more, and grow faster than we thought possible. And somewhere along the way, many of us begin to believe a quiet lie: “I should be able to do this on my own.”

In today’s early childhood settings, it can feel like everything revolves around academics—letters, numbers, shapes, and school readiness checklists. Educators are often asked, “Can they recognize their ABCs? Can they count to 20?”

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” — Proverbs 3:5–6

🌱 Final Thought The resurrection is the greatest story ever told—and children are ready to receive it. When we slow down, simplify, and center everything on Jesus, we give children something far greater than a seasonal tradition… We give them truth that lasts forever.

As parents, we often wonder how to teach our children something as big and life-changing as following Jesus. It can feel overwhelming—but the beautiful truth is this: following Jesus doesn’t begin with big, complicated actions. It begins with small, everyday choices. Jesus Himself kept it simple when He called His disciples:

“Who does Jesus say I am?” This week, we explore that question through one of the most powerful teachings of Jesus and through a beautiful reminder from Moxie.

When we look closely at the way Jesus teaches, we see that He naturally reaches people with different ways of learning. Jesus does not teach in only one method. Instead, He uses stories, questions, demonstrations, and real-life experiences so that everyone could understand.

Parenting is filled with questions. Am I doing this right? Will my child remember what I teach them? Do the small moments really matter? For parents who are seeking to raise their children in faith, Proverbs 22:6 often becomes a guiding verse

Children are naturally curious. They ask questions adults sometimes overlook: “Who made the world?” “Where is Jesus?” “Why does Jesus love children?” Curiosity is not a distraction from learning—it is often the beginning of it.

Early childhood classrooms are full of life, curiosity, and constant movement. Young children are learning how the world works, how to share space with others, and how to manage their emotions. For educators, this means that patience, guidance, and consistency are needed every single day. But true order in the classroom does not begin with behavior charts, rigid rules, or louder voices. For Christian educators, real order begins with our relationship with The Holy S

For many parents, one of the deepest desires of the heart is that their children would know Jesus personally. Yet a common question parents ask is: Where do I even begin?

Jesus gives us this command in John 13:34 (NIV): “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”

Telling the truth is not always easy — especially for children. Sometimes honesty might mean losing a turn, disappointing a friend, or admitting a wrong decision. But truth is not just a social emotional learning skill — it is a heart posture. As parents and teachers, we are not just raising well-behaved children. We are raising children who understand integrity, courage, and obedience to Christ.

At A Class Act, Moxie and I come to your classroom and perform a live puppet show, make crafts, and have meaningful interactive experiences that inspire children to use their heart skills – social-emotional learning. This is all about helping children navigate our emotions and friendships in kind, honest, and helpful ways—and having so much fun while doing it!

In early childhood, sticky situations happen every day. A toy won’t work the way a child expected. A zipper gets stuck. A block tower falls for the third time. Big feelings show up fast—and little bodies don’t yet have the tools to know what to do next.

Have you ever heard a little voice say, “I don’t want to take a nap!” You’re not alone. Many children feel that way, and that’s okay. But rest time is more than just a pause in the day—it’s a powerful opportunity for social-emotional growth and learning.

When I first imagined The Moxie & Me Show , I knew one thing for certain: it was never meant to be just a learning show. It was created to be a safe, welcoming space for young children—especially those who learn differently—to see themselves, their feelings, and their experiences reflected back to them. Moxie wasn’t designed to be a teacher who simply gives answers. She was designed to be a friend who learns alongside the child watching. That heart is why The Moxie & Me Show

When it comes to supporting preschoolers in developing big social emotional learning skills, sometimes the simplest tools have the biggest impact. Puppets are more than just playful props—they're powerful tools for connection, communication, and confidence-building in early childhood settings.

🌈 I Wonder… Who Is Jesus? Have you ever looked at the stars at night and whispered, “Wow… who made all of this?” Moxie has been wondering, too! She’s been asking lots of big questions lately — like “Who is Jesus?” and “Who made dinosaurs?”
