Multi-Cultural Child Development Center

(ESPAÑOL en los comentarios)

A couple of weeks ago, we held our **“Open House”**—a very special day where families come to the school not only to actively participate in their children's education but also to **learn, share, and gain tools they can use at home** to support their children's development and well-being.

The first hour was dedicated to sharing important information about our rules, guidelines, curriculum, and various aspects of our program.

But the second hour was, without a doubt, fantastic! ❤️

Our teachers worked in pairs to prepare four presentations packed with valuable information, strategies, and topics for our families:

🌱 **1. The impact of screen time on children**
🍬 **2. The effects of sweets, preservatives, and food coloring, and how they can influence children's health and behavior**
😴 **3. The importance of sleep for children**
💛 **4. The importance of social-emotional development**

It was wonderful to see our families participating, listening, asking questions, and sharing their own experiences. By the end, parents left the center **inspired, motivated, and equipped with new tools to take home**.

At our school, we firmly believe that **education neither begins nor ends with the children**. Education extends to their families—and especially to their parents, who are their children's first and most important teachers.

That is why it is essential for us to maintain **consistency between what we teach in the classroom and what we encourage among our families**. When the school and the family work in the same direction, our children receive a much more powerful and consistent message.

We are deeply proud of our team. ❤️

Our teachers don't work to create a center that is merely “Instagrammable.” They work to build a **true educational center**, 100% dedicated to the learning, development, well-being, and happiness of every child and their family.

That is the kind of school we strive to be. A school that **educates, supports, listens, and grows alongside its families.** 🌱💛

A great start to the school year!
We commend the parents and guardians for consistently following the guidelines provided to them; this made the children's integration much smoother and faster.
Our team worked very hard to create suitable environments for the children, featuring natural elements and calming tones, as well as a wealth of opportunities that will allow us to observe the children's interests.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Un inicio de año escolar muy bueno!
Felicitamos a los padres/madres/guardianes por ser congruentes con las pautas y guías que se les dió, las cuales facilitaron la integración de sus niños mucho más fácil y en menos tiempo.
Nuestro equipo trabajó muy duro para crear los ambientes apropiados para los niños, con objetos y tonos naturales, calmados y ricos en oportunidades que nos van a permitir observar los intereses de nuestros niños.

Es normalísimo tirar de estas frases, que también nos decían a nosotros de pequeños. Criar es un reto diario y lo hacemos lo mejor que sabemos, y con la mejor intención. ❤️ Pero cuando paramos a analizar cómo funciona su cerebro, nos damos cuenta de que cambiando un par de palabras, el mensaje les llega más limpio y con menos tensión.💗🫂 Ojo, que límites hay que poner siempre y esto no es magia: habrá días que no nos escuchen hagamos lo que hagamos, aun están aprendiendo. Pero si adaptamos el mensaje a cómo procesan la información, les hacemos el camino más fácil y aumentamos las posibilidades de que colaboren. #CrianzaRespetuosa #PsicologiaInfantil #hijos #Educacion

Dile (no preguntes, cuentes, negocies) a tu hij@ la conducta que quieres que suceda:
“Eres amable con tu hermana, respetando su espacio… podremos tener más tiempo en el parque”. (Por ejemplo).

Most of us hear the word “consequence” and immediately think of punishment. But that’s not what a consequence actually is. A consequence is simply what happens after a behavior. Yes, there are times when losing a privilege makes sense. But if that’s the only consequence your child experiences, you’re missing one of the most powerful ways to shape behavior. Ask yourself: 👉 What happens after they share without being asked? 👉 What happens after they handle disappointment well? 👉 What happens after they clean up the first time you ask? 👉 What happens after they speak respectfully? The behaviors that receive attention, connection, responsibility, trust, and opportunities tend to grow. Don’t just create consequences for the behaviors you want to stop. Create meaningful consequences for the behaviors you want to see more of.
