Let me know, are you doing preschool, daycare, or homeschool?! ❤

Former LA preschool teacher here and these are great! I also always tell caregivers IT’S OKAY TO CRY! Yes the caregivers! And most of them do lol and it’s so sweet🤍 It’s ok for you and your kiddo to have a teacup first few weeks. Most kids starting preschool/daycare are covid babies who have never been in the care of anyone else so sending them to be in someone else’s care IS A BIG DEAL! If you need to sit in the car for 20 minutes and sob, you do that! It’s a big change for EVERYONE and we appreciate you trusting us with your most precious gift :) ♥️

Please do a full video on lunches for little ones! I need ideas!!

New Zealand mum and preschool teacher here. We definitely do nap times if your Pepe/baby still has naps during the day, once baby gets to about 4 or 5 we normally find that they don’t want naps when at preschool and then by 5 when they start primary school there is no nap times.

Please make a full video of toddler meal/snack ideas!

I would love to see a full video of your lunch ideas! Thank you for the awesome content!

Im a mom of 2 that are in daycare and I completely agree with you on the lunchbox choice! Edited to add I throw all parts of the lunchbox in the top rack of the dishwasher and it always comes out good as new :)

Yes please to lunch ideas video! Also that pink jacket looks great on you 😊

Your babe is 6M older than mine and you always have the best tips, tricks, products. Your channel literally guides me through the motherhood. Thank you! 🥹🖤

Thank you for this!! I have been watching your content for about 3 years since I was pregnant with my first kiddo (now 2.5) and he just started daycare for the first time yesterday! This video came at just the right time and helped me handle my mom guilt. ❤

Loved all the advice! You’re killing also mama! 🥰🥰

I really appreciate your videos, Britt ❤ Thank you!

Officially starting preschool this year. I’m so nervous… but glad to be coming back to this video for some inspo

Simple Modern makes kids water bottles too that are awesome and leak proof! I have a 2nd grader and PreKer and they both love them. Also, I'm going back and rewatching all of your baby must have videos since now I also have a 4 month old 😅 So thank you for those!!

Thankyou! About to send my son to nursery and this was perfect. X

Always love your videos 🩵 you look wonderful by the way! Also, we got our oldest a handmade nap mat off of an Etsy seller. It’s got a very think mat and very customizable and can embroider the name of your little right on it.

This was so useful. Your videos are always so helpful

this video was soooo helpful!!

Great tips! Thanks mama

off topic but this hairstyle really suits you!!

I lived in New Zealand for the last 6 years and daycare and preschool definitely do nap time .

My baby just started 2nd grade today and I still found comfort in your video. Thank you for being so real

Preschool teacher here and this videos is a must and very helpful 🤎 Love this

We have this one with the ice pack. Plus the snack cup that came with it

Obsessing over your shirt Brittany, where is it from please? I also just love the colours you’re wearing and how they match your wrist tattoo 🩷 🌹

my son will be going to school next year, loved the video

I would LOVE a full video of snacks/lunches 😍

Your videos are the BEST! So thorough! Can you please do a video on toddler meal/snack ideas? Thank you so much!!😊

So greatful to live in Vienna. They have THE BEST support for parents. If you get into a public preschool it’s around 70€ per month and kids get 3 meals and fruit and water/tea whenever they want. Private are even better cause food is not delivered but freshly cooked there, just more expensive (still not over 300€/month). All you need is some extra clothes for outside and if they get dirty.

Thank you. Little one starts daycare tomorrow and i am very emotional about it. I have been watching your videos for 2 years and appreciate you making this video

i love stasher bags

Can you do what I pack my preschooler for a week lunch ideas !

I’m planning on doing Homeschool!! But I still have a little until my sons school age so who knows if I’ll change my mind!

Where's your pink shirt from? I love it!

Great tip in daycare you did good

Full video on toddler meals!!!!

Do I have a child? No. Will I watch all of Brittany’s mommy videos? Yes

Omg pls tell me where you found this awesome bedroom mirror?

Hi Brittany! I hope you get well soon! That stomach flu sucks! Happy Labor Day to all! 😊

Love love to have them for my little one please

here in new zealand we do have nap times for babies here in kindy and daycare..

For the birthday gift bags, I have to be careful because we have religious dietary requirements, so I do: - Gift bags from shein/Temu - Vegan gummies (I get a large pack and put 5 pieces in mini cellophane baggies) - A mini colouring book (get a 12 pack from party stores or online) - Mini pack of colours (I buy the cheap 50 pack of crayons from the dollar store and put 2-3 crayons in each bag. Nice and simple, no hazards, careful with the dietary requirements

BRITTANY! I must know where this jacket is from! 😍

Hey there! Didn’t you guys have a Yeti for Arrow at one point? Am I remembering that correctly? I’ve been debating getting one for my 2.5 year old and was just wondering if there were any cons that made you stop using it? Love your videos ❤

My 2 year old is starting nursery school tomorrow 😊

Hi I love you so much Brittany, and I completely understand why you might not want to show arrow any more xx

Mine starts kindergarden tomorrow. she has been home with me since she was born. I am nottttttt okay! D: also- I got the wrong bentgo box without the ice pack. wish I seen this one before hahahaha. great video.

It happened to me that we went to a birthday in a kids gym and they have gifts bags that had a ball similar to the size of a tennis ball, but when my daughter took it she bit it and ir was foam inside so she had the piece in her mouth. From the outside the ball look like plastic because it had a thin cover

Where’s your jacket from ❤

Yes I would LOVE a meal ideas video for toddler lunches ❤

Hi from New Zealand. We definitely do naps at preschool … otherwise my 2 year old would be a nightmare 😂

Where is your sweater from??

We're can I get them?

I’m a preschool teacher and these are items I recommend to parents! Teacher approved list lol

Where is your jacket from?! ❤

Q: re the lunchbox, can you put ‘warm’ food in 1 section and ‘cool’ food (prob not cold food next to warm right?) in a different section or would the warm food make the whole lunch end up warm? Or would it even keep the warm food warm? Or if I got this do you think I would still need a separate thermos-? Ty!!!🫶🏼

What about the kids yeti?👀

Can arrow open the lunch boxes on her own?

As a prek teacher I also have a love-hate with gift bags for bday parties. Some parents think that it’s a free for all & will give students snacks or candy containing allergens like peanuts. They will give them toys, food, sometimes clothing items (socks, headbands). Sometimes they will bring (without telling us!) McDonald’s AND pizza AND cake AND snacks SND juice. Sometimes they bring cake that has almonds as a topping & they think “just talking it off” is okay. Bday parties are sooooo stressful & soooo distracting for the kids. I wish there was a rule that didn’t allow bday parties in school.

My daughter has been in daycare since 9 months and now she is 3 yrs, all meals and snacks are provided by the daycare 😊 I thought that’s how it was everywhere 🤔 no need to pack food

When you've entered into the family fudge lunch box era

I pack my child’s change of clothes in wet bags, so the wet clothes can be placed in them and returned home.

Gift bags for birthday's at school? I have two kids in school and haven't seen that yet. Maybe it's a regional thing? Gift bags at birthday parties are enough, I don't think it necessary to do them at school!

I never realized her name wasn’t actually Arrow!

😓really feeling the mom guilt 1st day of TK and was sent home with 3 incident reports...

New Zealand daycares have naptime!! 100%!

Zippered wet bag for soiled clothes! Throw them in the washer and there’s no waste!!!

I heard the silicone plates make the food taste awful :o

Preschool

After working in daycare (Aus though, so even better than the US), I would never send my kids to daycare. It's not good for anyone.

As someone not from the US I'm shocked to learn that nursery/daycare does not provide food or water.

why do you call it school if its daycare/kindy...school starts from year 1 and its different

Ugh I don’t subscribe to the idea of gifting ALL the kids something for my child’s birthday. I’d rather celebrate my daughter and not all the other kids. Maybe I’m just a bad parent lol

I find it crazy you guys can pack nuts to Pre-School. In Australia all childcares, Pre-School and even schools are nut free. All childcares are egg free too. Not sure about the others. Though to be fair Melbourne Australia has the highest amount of allergies in the world. As nuts and eggs most common allergies makes sense it's banned. Wait they do put the soiled clothes into a bag? This is considered a hygiene and safety issue here. They would 100% put those clothes into some sort of bag.

Why are we giving gifts to every kid in class when it’s your kids birthday. That makes no sense. That makes me think of everyone gets an award. No, why are we building expectations that are unrealistic of the real world. Yes we should have fun and magical moments for our kids. And also making them think they should get gifts every time somebody else has a Birthday, why.

Omg you should do a vid with toddler daycare n preschool lunch box ideas

YES YES to the independent play and social skills! (Former preschool teacher here) Most of us are capable of handling children with a lot of separation anxiety but it is definitely a lot more challenging than if your child doesn’t “know” all their educational skills. That’s what we are here for, to teach your littles! But what makes a huge difference is working with your child to learn how to play next to you and well with other children. Most kids are a bit shy at first and that’s super normal! But it definitely makes a huge difference when they have had time to grow that skill of independence and confidence in themselves.🤍
